Hilary Ann Swank was born July 30, 1974 and she is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress.

Swank's film career began with a small part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and then a major part in The Next Karate Kid (1994), where she played Julie Pierce, the first female protégé of sensei Mr. Miyagi. She is best known for her performances as Brandon Teena, a transman in Boys Don't Cry (1999) and as struggling waitress-turned-boxer, Maggie Fitzgerald, in Million Dollar Baby (2004); both of which earned her the Oscar for Best Actress.

Video material property of Warner Bros (PS I love you with Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank) Music:Moho Sapiens : Elszáll a szó Ha könnybe borul szemed, Szomorú vagy és magányos, Vagy ha nem tudod éppen Elviselni a világot. Ãrezd, hogy fogom a kezed S veled vagyok, Ãs tudd, hogy Van, aki szeret, szeret nagyon. Ha túl messze van, Mit el akarsz érni, és nem tudod, S irigyeled a másikat, akit továbbjutott De történjen bármi, én veled vagyok S veled maradok, Ha te is akarod... Elszáll a szó, de az érzés megmarad Szeretlek... Mindaddig jó, míg megtalállak, ha kereslek Ãrtsd meg hát, hogy a szívem ért hozzád Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Ne kutass tovább, Megtaláltad, kit kerestél. Nélkülem úgyis minden csatában elesnél, Inkább szeressél, hisz úgy akarom, Ãn is szeretlek majd, hisz te is akarod. Elszáll a szó, de az érzés megmarad Szeretlek... Mindaddig jó, míg megtalállak, ha kereslek Ãrtsd meg hát, hogy a szívem ért hozzád Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Elszáll a szó, de az érzés megmarad Szeretlek... Mindaddig jó, míg megtalállak, ha kereslek Ãrtsd meg hát, hogy a szívem ért hozzád Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Soha nem szerethetsz mást... Enjoy! ^^ Comment and rate thanks! ^^
