Last year, Hilary Swank didn’t have medical insurance. She earned less
than the SAG minimum ($3000) required to be considered a 'working
actor'. Oh yeah, and she won an Oscar. This year, she got beat up by a
God-fearing, Katie Holmes-shagging Keanu Reeves. The cost of
stardom? But even the worst hair extensions since Dustin Hoffman in
Tootsie can’t disguise her intense and nervy screen presence. With a
talent as big and raw as her smile, it can’t be long before she can afford
treatment for the bruises from all the punches she’s taken in her short
and brilliant career.
