Morgan Freeman in car accident
Categories: In The News, Media
Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman was in a serious car accident on Sunday night in Memphis.
"He's resting quietly and has some fractures. Nothing life-threatening. Nothing permanent," said Bill Luckett, Freeman's business partner. "He's in good spirits, but he's in some pain." According to The Associated Press, the car Freeman was driving left a rural highway and flipped several times. A spokesmen for the Mississippi Highway patrol states that there is no indication that drugs and alcohol were involved and that Freeman was wearing a seat belt. The jaws of life were required to remove the actor from the vehicle.
Morgan Freeman is known for his roles the popular films: "Million Dollar Baby", "Driving Miss Daisy", and "The Shawshank Redemption". However, for a kid of the 70's like me, he'll always be Easy Reader from The Electric Company.
Get well soon, Mr. Freeman!

He's certainly one of the "great voices" and actors of my lifetime and a really nice person. I wonder if there is an official page to post messages?

I just wanted to add my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I consider Mr. Freeman the number one actor in hollywood. I always tell my kids that I will never marry again because Mr. Freeman is taken.
Get well Mr. Freeman - we would miss you very much if you were not to make any more movies.
Billie
