ANGELS – Morgan Freeman first took the stage at the age of 8, playing Little Boy Blue in a contest. That’s when he knew he wanted to be an actor.

More than seven decades later, Freeman’s career includes his Oscar-winning performance in “Million Dollar Baby”. He has been nominated for Oscars four other times, most notably for his work in “Shawshank Redemption” and “Driving Miss Daisy”.

Freeman spoke about a difficult time in his career in the early 1980s during an awards speech in 2018.

“I thought my 15 minutes were up… I needed a job,” he said. “The moment I got to the moment you make this decision – give it up – something has happened. Paul Newman has happened.”

“I used to imagine myself being a driver because there came a point where I thought it was all over,” Freeman said in a Facebook video taken from inside his car at the show. “I thought my career was at its peak, its peak.”

It was seven years later that he became a sort of chauffeur – chauffeur Hoke Colburn in “Driving Miss Daisy”.

Freeman was born on June 1, 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee. He joined the Air Force after high school in hopes of becoming a fighter pilot. He then changed his mind and decided to get into comedy, which resulted in an exceptional job.
