Morgan Freeman and His Wife Have Finalized Their Divorce

Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite black stars. He is an American actor, film director, and narrator. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in "Street Smart", "Driving Miss Daisy", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Invictus" and won the Best Supporting Actor in 2005 for "Million Dollar Baby".

Today, I want to show a news story about him. I read it online. The title of the story is "Attorney: Morgan Freeman, Wife Finalize Divorce". It is a transmitted story, being published on Wtop.com. You can read the story here. The title of original story was "Actor Morgan Freeman and His Wife Have Finalized Their Divorce in Mississippi", which was published on 17 September 2010 on Los Angeles Times web site. The writer is Jack Elliott.

In terms of content, the story is about Freeman and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee divorcing in Mississippi. Firstly, the story points out that the issue happened on 15 September. The attorney William R. Wright told The Associated Press, "It was done without a trial and terms of the divorce are sealed.". Also, the story mentions that Freeman and Colley-Lee had separated in December 2007 and the divorce was filed under seal in July 2008. In addition, the story points out why Freeman and Colley-Lee live in Mississippi now. Besides, the story refers to Freeman's car accident in 2008. Finally, the story introduces Freeman's achievement. Although the story provides much relevant information, the structure of the story seems to be unclear.

Actually, in 2008, some news stories indicated Freeman and his wife divorcing after 24 years. Here is an example. Compared with some stories in 2008, the story seems more reliable and authentic, because the sources of the story stem from Morgan's legal representation Wright.

Lastly, the online page has the main story and a picture of Freeman. There is no message area where readers can make comments on the event. Also, it has not releted link which can help readers to obtain more useful information.

P.S.

The couple married on 6 June 16 1984. Unfortunately, a marriage can not be retained by a more-than-20-year accompany.
