Lawyer: Morgan Freeman and wife are divorcing
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) _ Morgan Freeman's lawyer says the actor and his wife of 24 years are getting a divorce.

Freeman's lawyer, Bill Luckett, told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal newspaper that the divorce action is pending. Freeman's wife is Myrna Colley-Lee.

The lawyer declined to provide details. There was no answer early Thursday at phone numbers for Luckett or for Freeman's publicist.

The 71-year-old actor is recovering in a Memphis hospital after a car crash in neighboring Mississippi on Sunday left him with a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage.

  • This is not a "midlife crisis" situation. More like 7/8ths life crisis. Morgan just deflated my overrated view of the quality of his own character. We never seem to learn that they are just "ACTORS."
