He mostly stays at his house at the Peninsula Golf Course in Gulf Shores. It's not a big fancy house. Just a regular house & his yard isn't up to spec with rest of the hood. My sister used to live down the street. I would see him playing golf using one arm. I heard he messed up one arm pretty bad in the 2008 car crash.

What he messed up in that crash was his marriage. No way MF plays golf one armed. Maybe putt putt

That crash cost him a lot of money. His wife took about half his money because she was not the woman in the car with him.

I've seen him playing one armed golf multiple times.

Copied this from a interview a few years ago.

Q: And you’re playing with only one hand.

A:
That’s right; I swing the club with just my right hand. I was in a horrendous car accident four years ago. I don’t know what happened, whether I passed out, went to sleep or what. But I left the highway, and the car just rolled and rolled and rolled ... and the left side of me was pretty much torn to pieces. The upshot is a paralyzed left hand. I literally can’t use it. It won’t work.

Q: Yet you still play golf?

A:
I don’t seem to be any worse than I was with two hands. [Laughs.] I can’t hit it 240 or 260 yards like some of these guys I play with, but I enjoy trying.

According to a guy at the electric company he was driving around Miss Daisy about seven. Said he no longer gets out on dark knights but we all know he still likes to kiss the girls. Heard that was his million dollar baby after it was all said and done. Didn't seem to have a deep impact on his career last time, so must've ben hur. Even if he had unleashed it on her, old guy wouldn't last 57 seconds. Always assumed he was street smart and a good person, in a high crime area like Ground Zero sits in. But what do I know, he could've died from this new fungus outbreak, or along came a spider and bit him at his place out there. Just know, the OP will be unforgiven if this is all a hoax.

I've spent a little time with him. His arm/hand just sort of dangles there now (or back when I met him at least). He does everything one handed at a meal - eat, drink, order gin and tonics, etc.

But for those of a certain age, this is how we were introduced to Morgan... as Easy Reader on the best show on television.

I remember being surprised when Easy started showing up in Hollywood blockbusters.

His story is pretty incredible. Working actor for many years, but Hollywood barely knew of him until he got cast in Street Smart and was just Morgan Freeman and the critics noticed and he got an Oscar nomination.

Discovered at 50 years old and builds that into being considered one of the better actors in film history.

I hope he keeps busy living a few more years.
