Hilary Swank
Photograph by Steve Granitz“One thing I’ve learned: you never know where life is taking you, but it’s taking you.”—Hilary Swank
An exceptional young actress, Hilary Swank has never shied away from challenging roles, from Teena Brandon in Boys Don’t Cry to Maggie Fitzgerald in Million Dollar Baby, both of which earned her Academy Awards for Best Actress. In her latest film, the eagerly-anticipated Amelia, Ms. Swank takes on the role of Amelia Earhart , the legendary pilot and one of the most daring women in American history.
