Hilary Swank Gets Star on Walk of Fame

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hilary Swank and her mom came to Hollywood 16 years ago with only $75 in their pockets. On Monday, Hilary Swank the two-time Oscar winner received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“I remember my mom using a roll of quarters to call agents from a pay phone and telling agents they should sign me,”

said the emotional 32-year-old during the dedication ceremony. Swank, wearing a sophisticated black sleeveless dress, was flanked by producer Joel Silver and Richard LaGravenese, the director of her new film “Freedom Writers.” In 2000, a then-unknown Swank walked away with the best-actress Oscar for her chilling portrayal of murdered transgender teen Brandon Teena in “Boys Don’t Cry.” Five years later, she won another best-actress Oscar as the scrappy and determined boxer Maggie Fitzgerald in “Million Dollar Baby.”

Her star is the 2325th on the Walk of Fame.
