Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and raised in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington, Hilary Swank stepping into Hollywood as a young teenager armed with sheer determination and a dream.
As a young girl with a passion for acting, she was encouraged to perform in school plays and local theater productions.
