The important thing is my freedom,'' Channing said. A recent three-year tour of ``Hello Dolly'' netted the actress $5 million, she said, but her accountants told her she had only $2 million in her account. Lowe lived on her earnings and controlled the money as her manager and head of a production company, she said. Channing said she never dared ask him about money. ``It created such an uproar and such a reaction that it was hard to go on and do the next show,'' the wide-eyed, smiling actress said. Lowe, who lives in the Los Angeles area, could not be located for comment Wednesday. Channing filed her divorce petition in Los Angeles, where the couple had been living. The couple separated Dec. 10 and Channing moved in with her son from a previous marriage.
