Born in Bellingham, Washington, in 1974, Hillary Swank moved to Los Angeles at the age of 16 to pursue a career as an actress. She first appeared on screen as Kimberley in the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But it was all fleeting. In the years since, she has only appeared in a few second-rate films.
In 1999, the god of luck finally chose Hilarys. She starred in "Boys Don't Cry," directed by Kimberley Pierce, which not only brought her praise and applause, but also made her one of the Oscar nominations for the first time. The screenplay is based on the true story of Brandon Tina. Brandon Tina, a woman, decided to live like a man and was brutally murdered after her true identity was discovered. In order to represent the real Brandon, Hilary has made great efforts in both physical and mental aspects. She cut her hair short, lost weight, strangled her chest with strips of cloth, stuffed a sock in her pants, and practiced "death" before the film was filmed. The most touching thing about her is that she can convey Brandon's love for his lover Lana and his desire for life. Because of such superb acting skills, she won her first Oscar queen throne from the hands of melyl Streep, Annette Benin and other veteran actors. At the age of 25, she suddenly became the leader of her peers.
