Re: Morgan Freeman......
There was something strange about the way Morgan Freeman ended up in hospital this week, and it wasn't just the revelation that the Oscar-winning actor, a motor-racing fanatic with a fleet of expensive supercars, had sustained a selection of "serious" injuries by crashing a beaten-up 1997 Nissan Maxima.
Freeman broke his shoulder, arm and several ribs after veering off a freeway near Charleston, Mississippi, shortly before midnight on Sunday. The vehicle flipped several times and came to rest in a ditch. But it soon emerged that he hadn't been the only person who'd needed to be cut from the wreckage.
Sitting alongside Freeman was a younger woman called Demaris Meyer, who described herself in police reports as his "friend". She was the owner of the vehicle, she said, but had asked the71-year-old star to drive because she hadn't been sure of the way to the holiday home he keeps in the Mississippi delta.
It didn't take long for reporters to start asking exactly what Freeman was doing alone with this 48-year-old female "friend" so late on a Sunday night. Little was known about Meyer's identity, except that she was apparently a keen gardener (several tools were flung around the wreckage) and was also very much not Freeman's wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee.
On Wednesday, their questions were answered. Bill Luckett, Freeman's attorney and business partner, revealed to the TV show Access Hollywood that his client is "involved in a divorce action". He added: "For legal and practical purposes [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007." |
