This trailer-park girl dropped out of school and lived in a car with her poor mom

Hilary Swank’s journey is a true testament to grit and determination. Raised in a trailer park in Washington, she moved to Hollywood with her mother and little more than a dream. Struggling early on, she landed small roles before her breakout performance in Boys Don’t Cry (1999),

which earned her an Academy Award. She won a second Oscar for Million Dollar Baby (2004), proving her dedication to challenging roles. Beyond acting, she’s a devoted advocate for causes she believes in and took a career break to care for her ailing father. Now a mother of twins, she continues to inspire.
