I hope he's okay. I love Morgan Freeman- I've been a huge fan of his ever since I was a kid and watched him on 'The Electric Company'.

A little over a week ago, I had no idea what TMZ was, now I can't get away from it being mentioned.

Would it be in poor taste to start the Driving Miss Daisy jokes now?

JACKSON, Miss. — Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman is in a hospital in Memphis, Tenn., today after being injured in a car accident in Mississippi.

Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.

No matter how many times I see this thread, I keep reading it as Morgan Feeman DIES after solo car crash.



I think the abundance of LoT death threads has me trained to see the worst.

Perhaps while he is in the Hospital he can get those weird things on his face looked at.

His eyes aren't that bad.

I do belive those are age spots of some sort (hyper pigmintation). I consider them to be as much his personality as the mole on Robert De Niro's face, and the gap in David Letterman's teeth.

I do hope he is ok! :(

De Niro has a mole? Ewwww.... They are so easy to remove, 5-min at the dermatologists.

Would you have had Marilyn have hers removed?

I think she looked better without makeup.

That was the best you could do with such a simple edit? Man, you suck at Photoshop.

THIS is what should have been done with that picture to remove the mole:

FYI he's doing fine now, but will have some surgery to repair some shoulder damage. He also has a broken arm and elbow. BBC News article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7542208.stm)

I'm glad he's doing okay.
