Morgan Freeman | Born 1937

It can be considered a sin if one doesn’t know who Morgan Freeman is. He is an amazing actor, director, and narrator. This 85-year-old celebrity was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on June 1, 1937. At an early age, he already fell in love with performing, the very reason why he studied theater arts. In the 1970s, he starred in the children’s TV series The Electric Company, which is his stepping stone to stardom. He then appeared in films like Street Smart, where he received an Academy Award nomination. He then received another nod for his role in Driving Miss Daisy, and eventually won one for his performance in Million Dollar Baby.

Apart from being an actor, he is also a businessman who made an investment to build a film production company called Revelations Entertainment. For his immeasurable contribution to the entertainment industry, he was awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, which are just a few of his long list of awards.
