MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Morgan Freeman's lawyer says the actor and his wife of 24 years are getting a divorce.

Freeman's lawyer, Bill Luckett, told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal newspaper that the divorce action is pending. Freeman's wife is Myrna Colley-Lee.

The lawyer declined to provide details. There was no answer early Thursday at phone numbers for Luckett or for Freeman's publicist.

The 71-year-old actor is recovering in a Memphis hospital after a car crash in neighboring Mississippi on Sunday left him with a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage.

Why is the state of his marriage being aired on the news? I swear nothing is private these days...especially in the media. Ridiculous! What, just because he's a famous actor means that he's not entitled to any privacy?

If a man is going to be riding with a woman other than his wife - why on earth would he be dumb enough to do it at home? I hope his wife gets everything he has.
