Bio Graphy Block
<p>Narrator, Actor and Director, Morgan Freeman was born on June 1, 1937, in the Southwestern city of Memphis, Tennessee. Born to Morgan Porterfield Freeman, Sr and Mayme Edna, he was the youngest child and with four other siblings. Morgan was raised in a low-income home in Chicago and Mississippi, where his parents struggled to make ends meet. As his parents relocated to Chicago to find jobs, he remained home with his maternal grandmother. Freeman’s grandmother later died while he was at the age of 6, which forced him to move north to live with his mother. At this time her mother had separated from her husband. They moved to Tennessee later on and finally back to Mississippi, settling in Greenwood. As a kid, Morgan Freeman spent most of his time saving enough money to go and watch movies. Upon graduating from high school in late 1955, he was offered a drama scholarship but turned it down, joining the <a href="http://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/career-advice/military-transition/famous-veteran-morgan-freeman.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States Air Force</a> instead. This, however, proved to be difficult than he thought, so he turned back to acting after marrying Jeanette Adair Bradshaw in 1967. His big break came was when he landed a role in a product known as Hello, Dolly! At that time he also performed in The Nigger Lovers, an off-Broadway production.</p> <h2>Career Accomplishments</h2> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Freeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Freeman</a>’s fortunes changed in 1987 when he was selected to be cast in Street Smart, a film that placed him as a volatile pimp. This role came as a success to him, earning him the prestigious Oscar nomination for the role of Best Supporting Actor.

Later on, in 1994 and 1998, he starred in big-budget movies, The Shawshank Redemption and Deep Impact respectively. Morgan Freeman finally won an Oscar in 2005 for Best Supporting Actor in the film Million Dollar Baby. At the Golden Globes in 2012, he also received Cecil B. DeMille Award, which he was awarded for his massive contributions to the entertainment industry.</p> <h2>Most known for</h2> <p>Freeman is most known for playing authority figures and his contribution to the film industry in general.
