[edit] Clarification

"Although he has said in interviews that he has never been cast opposite a love interest in any of his movies, Freeman has been married twice." <-- this line makes no sense. Although? If his marriages were contradictory to that statement, it would make sense to combine the sentence and add the although. Yet his marriages are NOT contradictory, thus this is a completely illogical sentence. I am changing it promptly, getting rid of the whole first part as it is not really worth anything (especially to open up a biography with). Illuminus

Is this article a stub?

I especially like the way his height gets top billing!

[edit] Listerine

Is this really necessary in the article? I mean, it's true, but I'm sure Freeman has said lots of things in interviews that are not significant and maybe don't need to be included. The ad itself was obviously '60s or early '70s vintage, maybe he forgot... It just seems out of place, and a little "who cares"?

[edit] Where was he born?

I can find many articles that claim Freeman lives in Clarksdale, MS, but these articles, and all other sources seem to indicate he was born in Memphis. If someone has a link - please link this to something that shows his birthplace is in clarksdale. Snowberg 21:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Lives in Clarksdale born in Memphis according to most sources. Gdo01 00:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
