Hilary Swank on Moving to Hollywood with $75 and Whether She’d Do “Boys Don’t Cry” Today

See ALL our interviews here: thegreatcreato...
Hilary Swank is one of just 14 women to win not one but two Academy Awards for Best Actress (Boys Don’t Cry, Million Dollar Baby). And as you’ll learn today, her life story just as remarkable as her career: from growing up in a trailer park (“it was no big deal”) to moving to L.A. as a teenager and living with her mom in their car for a time while chasing her dreams, to her breakthrough role as Brandon Teena in the indie film “Boys Don’t Cry” - a performance that earned Hilary an Oscar, and just $3,000. She also reflects on playing a transgender character as a cisgender woman; the movie she feels doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves; and how she envisions the next chapter of her career after becoming a mother last year.
Hilary’s newest film is called Ordinary Angels.

I grew up in Bellingham. 25 years there! It is beautiful there. Loved going out on the Bay and going to the Islands plus fairly easy access to Vancouver, BC.

Beautiful inside and out! I have loved her since I watched Million Dollar Baby when I was a teen. She is an amazing actress. She was amazing in Boys don’t cry.
