MORGAN FREEMAN - FREEMAN HEADING FOR DIVORCE

MORGAN FREEMAN is divorcing his wife of 24 years, his attorney has confirmed.
Freeman, 71, denied allegations he was splitting from his wife Myrna Colley-Lee in June (08) after reports alleged the actor had been unfaithful.
But just days after The Shawshank Redemption star was involved in a serious car accident at the weekend (03Aug08), the actor's Mississippi-based lawyer and business partner Bill Luckett have confirmed the split.
In a statement, Luckett says the former couple "are involved in a divorce action", adding, "for legal and practical purposes (Freeman and Colley-Lee) have been separated since December of 2007".
Freeman was involved in the wreckage with a female passenger, identified as Demaris Meyer, whose relationship to the actor is unknown. She has been described as the actor's friend.
Both Freeman and Meyer had to be cut free from the car, before they were airlifted to a Tennessee hospital where the star has undergone surgery for serious injuries to his left arm and shoulder.
Meyer reportedly suffered only minor injuries in the crash but remains "in good condition".
At an event in June (08), the actor was shocked to hear reports of his rumoured break-up with his second wife when quizzed about his marital status, insisting, "I don't know anything about that (filing for divorce)."
Freeman married Myrna in June 1984. He also shares two children with his first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, whom he was married to for 12 years from 1967.
