Hilary Swank

As a teenager, Hilary Swank and her mom moved to L.A. with just $75 to pursue her acting dreams. They were homeless for a time, sleeping in their car or on an air mattress at a friend’s house.

Fortunately, within a few months, Hilary began landing steady acting roles, eventually lifting them out of their tough financial situation and paving the way for her successful career.
