Hilary Swank’s life is a real Cinderella story. From humble beginnings, she worked tirelessly, climbing to the highest peak in Hollywood, stopping only to be a caregiver to her ailing father. After decades of supporting others, the elements finally came together, allowing her to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a mother.
Recently, the 48-year-old celebrated the birth of healthy twins, and while she’s navigating the early stages of motherhood caring for her sweet little ones, online trolls are attacking her, casting a dark shadow of unsolicited opinions over a beautiful moment.
Swank gained major prominence in Hollywood after playing a transgender man in Boys Don’t Cry (1999). Her outstanding performance earned her several awards, including her first Oscar and Golden Globe Award. Prior to this film, she had roles in movies like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and The Next Karate Kid (1994), the fourth instalment in The Karate Kid franchise.
