Hilary Swank was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on July 30, 1974. I had no idea she had any Nebraska connection until she did Million Dollar Baby. I am no fan of Clint Eastwood--except from his Rawhide days, but went to this movie because of her. Loved it. There was an article in the Lincoln Journal Star around that time that said she was born here and lived on Portia Street until she was about 3 years old when her mother moved to Bellingham, Washington.It's my understanding that her Nebraska connection is why she wanted to play Brandon Teena in Boy's Don't Cry for which she won her first Oscar for best actress. She won a second one fof Million Dollar Baby.
She is truly a marvelous actress. Happy birthday to her and many more.
