Long before the fame, the fortune, and the two Academy Awards, actress Hilary Swank slept in a car with her mom as she sought stardom, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Eager to start her acting career, Swank said that she stopped going to high school at the end of her sophomore year and after “my mother had recently separated from my father,” she said. Mother and daughter drove to Los Angeles from Bellingham, Washington, hoping Swank’s dreams of acting would come true.
