Hilary Swank

A fan base usually begins with one person before finally garnering millions of followers. Well, for Hilary Swank, it’s safe to say her mother can take credit for being her first supporter. When Hilary was still an aspiring actress, her mother was never far behind. At that time, before they saved enough for an apartment, the mother-daughter duo lived in their car — this was when Hilary didn’t have auditions to go to.

By the looks of it, all that hard work has paid off, and Hilary’s mom is surely more than proud of it. After she appeared on the public’s radar thanks to her part in Camp Wilder, Hilary has since become well-known for her role in projects such as The Next Karate Kid, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Million Dollar Baby. Along the way, she’s also dabbled in behind-the-scenes work, producing the movies Conviction, What They Had, and Amelia.
