Edit: hope he's ok.

So do I. Same year too 97 Max.

Yep, same here. Sunroof's broken though. Should probably fix it one of these days...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26010759/ some more info. At least he was lucid and joking as he was pulled away from the wreck:

?They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle,? McFerrin said. ?He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point.?

McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.

When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, ?no freebies, no freebies,? McFerrin said.

"The rescue workers work tireless to extract my battered body fromt he car. Then they sit on me to keep me warm until I hatch, just in time for migration."

Say, I wonder if he has a pet penguin...

Hope he's ok!!

Think I read it was a friend's car he was driving. I don't believe that he would drive anything more than 5 years old... but then I didn't think rich people committed petty theft. Oh well.

Hope he can keep on rocking.

Incidentally, PBS (may have been Georgia only) was replaying some of the best of The Electric Company yesterday. I was flipping through and one of the skits featured Morgan Freeman. It was kind of odd to see him in his late 30s/early 40s with dark hair and everything. I've gotten so used to seeing him as the wizened gray actor.

Hard to believe he's 71.

I loved that show as a kid. I will always remember him as Easy Reader.

I didn't realize "Wanted" was a comedy.

Surely you didn't think it was Serious?

She must have turned around, stuck it out. Even white boys gotta shout.

He takes it very seriously. Stop calling him Shirley.

I saw him once at Bed Bath and Beyond in Bradenton FL.. I swear! He was down low looking for something when I walked by him in a cramped isle.. I might've startled him and he stood up and bumped into me. And I was like, "Holy crap you look like Morgan Freeman."

And he said, "If I was Morgan Freeman, wouldn't I be in Hollywood or something?"

And I said, "Maybe not."

And he said, "It was nice to meet you."

When he spoke, I became more certain that it was him.. His voice is very unique. I gave him his space, though. I think he has relatives in Sarasota.

Hopefully he's okay.. Haven't met many celebrities in real life.. but he was definitely polite.
