Morgan Freeman, Wife Splitting After 24 Years
The drama continues for Dark Knight star Morgan Freeman.
Days after he was involved in a serious car accident, Freeman's business partner says the actor and his wife of 24 years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, have called it quits.
Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett tells Access Hollywood the couple "are involved in a divorce action."
Luckett adds that "for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007."
The couple met in 1976 when both were working off-Broadway.
Freeman has four children: Two from a previous marriage, two from previous relationships.
The news comes as Freeman is recovering in a Memphis hospital following his car accident Sunday. His rep said the actor is "doing well" after doctor reconnected nerves and repaired damage to his left arm and hand on Monday.
He is expected to be released in a few days.

WOW 24 yrs, that's sad.
It was reported there was an "unidentified" female in the car with him during the accident. Wonder if that's why they released this statement.

I found this on TMZ.com
So that's who he was driving! Meet Demaris Meyer, the passenger in Morgan Freeman's smash-up late last night.
From what we can gather, 48-year-old Meyer is from Memphis, works as an executive assistant at Fed-Ex and is an avid gardener. One source tells us that Meyer is a very close friend of Morgan's wife Myrna and is often seen at their house for get-togethers.
Freeman was driving Meyer's 1997 Nissan Maxima in rural Mississippi when he lost control and the car flipped. Meyer was treated for her injuries and released.
