Morgan Freeman – Biografija

moragn-freemanMorgan Freeman američki je filmski glumac i redatelj rođen 1. juna 1937. godine u Memphisu, Tennessee SAD.
Prvi put je glumio 1945. godine sa osam godina u školskoj predstavi, a 1949. godine sa dvanaest pobijedio je na dramskom državnom takmičenju. Tokom srednje škole nastupao je u radio-dramama u Nashvilleu, Tennessee, a 1955. je odbio stipendiju dramske škole sveučilišta u Jacksonu, odabravši umjesto toga rad u američkoj vojnoj avijaciji.
Početkom šezdesetih preselio se u Los Angeles gdje je radio kao zapisničar na koledžu. Dok je boravio u New Yorku, radio je i kao plesač na Svjetskoj izložbi, i u San Franciscu je bio član muzičke grupe Opera Ring.

Iako mu je debi bio 1971. godine u filmu „Who Says I Can’t Ride a Rainbow?“, postao je poznat u američkim medijima kroz uloge u sapunici ‘Another World’ i PBS-ovom dječjem showu ‘The Electric Company’.
Status zvijezde potvrdio je u nekim od najvećih filmova devedesetih: ‘Robin Hood: Princ lopova’, ‘Sedam’ i ‘Duboki udar’. Zajedno sa Lori McCreary 1997. godine, osnovao je filmsku produkcijsku tvrtku Revelations Entertainment.

Prepoznatljiv je po svom posebnom glasu, što mu je često donosilo uloge pripovjedača. 2005. se pojavio kao pripovijedač u dva najuspješnija filma te godine, ‘Rat svjetova’ i u dokumentarcu koji je dobio Oscar, ‘March of the Penguins’.

Ima pilotsku licencu za lični avion, a suvlasnik je i restorana Madidi i blues-kluba Ground Zero, u Clarksdaleu, Mississippi.

Privatni život
U braku je bio sa Jeanette Adair Bradshaw sa kojom ima dva sina i kćerku, a posvojio je i njenu usvojenu kćerku. U braku je bio i sa Myrnu Colley-Lee sa kojom nema djece.
