- After winning two Academy Awards, actress Hilary Swank put her career on hold for three years to care for her father, who had a lung transplant. Now she stars in a movie that hits close to home: "Ordinary Angels," about a woman who tries to accomplish the impossible to help a young girl in need of a life-saving transplant. Swank talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about struggling to build her career, and what she gained from stepping away to spend time with her dad.

Hilary Swank is the real deal. Her “Million Dollar Baby” performance always stuck with me. True artist and beautiful human. May she feel her dad’s presence with her for the rest of her days.
Sandra Bullock was meant to play the role but she turned it down, fyi.
Well, I suppose Sandra had other business to do. Maybe something with family business. Also very important business. Hillary is also a fabulous woman. ❤
Million Dollar Baby broke my heart. She is a phenomenal actress.
Good on her for reminding those who treated her rudely as a child that they were full of...anyway, LOVE Hilary Swank's work.
Hilary shines in each role she takes on. I've always wondered why she disappeared, now I understand. I'm happy she's back and thriving 💙
She will always be a complete class act!❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I often wondered why Hilary Swank dropped out of the spotlight, but now I understand why. What a wonderful daughter to put aside her acting career at the height of her fame to care for her ailing father. I was so sad to hear that he had passed away, but I imagine that he lives on in a special place in Hilary's heart. I was so excited when she announced she was having twins at 49, and her recent photo of her babies is truly precious! I can't wait to see her new movie!
I just got home from seeing this movie today ! It's a real tear jerker !
Hilary Swank is easily one of the best actresses of the last 20 years. Such a brilliant woman! I wish she'd do something with Renée Zellweger.
Now I have to watch the movie. Having relocated from CA to TX to help care for my mother who had dementia, I know the emotional roller coaster one goes through in caring for a loved one. A ‘family caregiver’ deserves their own academy award for their endless support ❤
It's a fanatic movie.
This is how its done...if you want to stay humble in celebrityville. She hasn't forgotten who she is while accepting her Oscars. We need more people like her in the biz.
Love Hillary Swank and she is an AMAZING Actress and she IS the REAL DEAL💯👍🏻 I am truly soooo sorry for the loss of her father😢 I am definitely going to see her new movie Ordinary Angels❤️🥰 Congratulations on your twin babies🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
As a Louisville resident who remembers 1994 we remember that. Can’t wait to see the movie next week!
She is a great actor! Loved all her movies. Thank you!!
She's an incredible storyteller and actor. Brava!
Last night I watched an amazing movie with Swank and Bonham Carter called "55 Steps." Both women were so good in their respective roles that you'd have trouble choosing a favorite. I'd never seen Hillary in a movie before, though I'd heard about her for years. She is the real deal! The movie was made, I believe, in 2017. I saw it on CZcams Free Movies. It was mesmerizing! I could not stop watching!
From the trailer park...to the ✨✨✨Oscars✨and to be able to say:"""No you didn't to those patronizing folks from back home cannot be measured....❤🙏🏼
Great actress! She put her time in, and it has paid off for her. Bravo!!
That's cute her and Leo as teen actors. Her show Alaska Daily about vanished Native women deserved more than one season (my dad did alot of the research they ended up using - fellow Bellinghamer!). Million Dollar Baby too heartbreaking to watch more than once (I also liked her Amelia Earhart) . Sorry about your dad. Keep being an angel, Hilary ❤
I agree. I couldn’t watch Million Dollar Baby more than once. It was so sad
Angels live among us and we all can be that angel.
She's not only an amazing actress, she's a beautiful human being :-)
I saw the movie yesterday. I highly recommend this movie. Hillary Swank is brilliant. This movie is inspirational and even more so because it's true.
Great actress and she seems to have her priorities in place. Dad is more important than anything. Great piece.
Hilary does the BEST MOVIES EVER!!!!!!! She must be super picky or I just LOVE HER WORK! ❤❤❤❤❤ can’t wait to see this one.
She’s an amazing person and actress.
Wow, what a wonderful, humble, loving woman Hillary Swank is. And an amazing actress, as well. But more than the acting, she is just a phenomenal human being.
If you haven’t seen Freedom Writers do it! It’s a gem from beginning to end.
Hilary Swank you truly are a gem!
And yes to the jealous actors & critics she absolutely deserved both of those Oscars!
3,000.dollars???? She let us understand what we couldn't with "boys don't cry '
I've not seen a lot of her movies. But will definitely watch this one. My husband had a lung transplant in 2016 & due to rejection, a 2nd one in 2019. So sorry to hear her father only survived 3 years. Bless her for raising awareness of organ donation
I just love her movies because she is so authentic. Oh, and she is so beautiful.
Ordinary angels was an unbelievable movie. So great. I really love this movie. Please see it if you have not.
Every scene that woman walks into? Is mesmerizing to me. She has that "realness" and intensity she carries in every word and glance. Incredible actress. ❤
Ordinary Angels was a really good movie!
Hilary Swank is a miracle. I respect and admire her immeasurably.
Hillary, you are one of my all-time favorites. You keep it real. I love how you disappear into the character like Meryl Streep.
I remember seeing her here at the Pioneer saloon and restaurant in Ketchum, I wonder if she married that guy… 49 and having babies, yes, that is a miracle!
She is a fantastic, versatile actor.....when a film comes out with her stamp on it...i know it will have the depth and electricity to be great...🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 ❤❤❤❤ A great daughter, obviously from this interview....❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Very admirable lady.💕
Hillary's answers and comments strike me as honest and refreshing.
I’ve seen Hilary in Million Dollar Baby, Freedom Writers and PS I Love You. This new movie doesn’t look too shabby!
Easily one of the most courageous artists currently working in cinema.
Great person, I have seen all of her movies. I’m a care giver I love helping people with things.
You are my favorite actress and you are so kind. Your movies are amazing.
I just saw it today 💜loved it🌸
Great interview. She’s my kinda of lady. I would have done the exact same same thing if I had to take care of a parent, actually I did, both mother n father. ♥️😊👍
Her new movie Ordinary Angels is Awesome!!!❤❤
Her films; 'Ordinary Angels' and 'What They Had' were both brilliant movies dealing with family members and illnesses because of Hilary's performances as well as the screenplay's themselves.
beautiful interview. Really touching
She’s one of the Greats. Not many people have TWO best actress Oscar’s.
Dynamic.... didn't know of her until i saw "the homesman" her acting is a winning performance each time
I love the 2:10- 2:55 mark
This star really knows what makes life really shine by focusing on what matters most in life.
Watching my fellow Washingtonian Hilary back home in our beautiful state is so beautiful to see! ❤
No mention of Freedom Writers!!!! That movie was amazing!!!!!
will you upload the full interview? there were more clips on your SM that aren't in this video.
One of the greatest actors on the planet, and clearly one of the greatest people as well. I’m so glad she has children now - she will be a fantastic mother. ❤
And she is one of the best actors of all time. And a fabulous human. Which is why this new role fits her. I could see her doing this in real life. 🙌❤️
Hilary has her heart in right place ❤she knows putting her family first is more important then her career what a true star❤
I used to work for a guy who was involved with one of the best movies she ever starred in Boys don’t Cry.
That was an INTENSE movie!!
Her looks? She’s so naturally beautiful!
Good for her. Love it - to be able to put the work in, make it in Hollywood, being true to herself, and to remember where she came from. Brava.
What a fantastic person!
🙋🏻♂️I was there Oscar night when Hilary Swank won in 2000. Back then you could camp out the night before the Oscars and wait to see if you could be picked to sit in the bleachers I was the first person to get photos of Hilary Swank as she walked on the red carpet and I still have those 35mm photos to this day I’d love to give them to her one day. Well anyways she was nice and kind and spoke to the fans in the bleachers. She deserves all the success she’s accomplished and bless her for taking care of her late father and congratulations on her new born twins.
One of the good ones! 💕
What a gem of a lady!
I hope she makes a cameo in Cobra Kai season 6. She is such a great actress. ❤
Yes! That would be awesome!!! She was the Karate Kid also and deserves to be in the netflex series along with the men!!! And she deserves more than a cameo. But I doubt the egos of the men in charge will allow it. Her gifted & loved "presence" would outshine the others, I'm sure, and might threaten the power and ego of the men.
Wow can’t believe how awful Hollywood is,$3000 for an Oscar movie, really ! And other stars get 30 million…inequality for all ,so glad she is in a better place now ,she deserves every happiness she gets and every million she makes !
Love her. I hope they bring Alaska Daily back. One of the BEST TV programs ever.
Good women Hillary you’ve your priorities right !👍👍
She is one of my favorite actresses!!!
Love this woman. Loved Alaska.💪
❤🙏 Reminds me of the highway to heaven tv show back in the 1980s.
Will definitely see this new film❤❤❤
She was great in Alaska Daily series. Hope to see her new movie
This woman is incredible.
Go see this movie... it's FANTASTIC.
Beautiful and talented Hilary Swank! 🌹🌹🌹
She is so real and lovely
Great Movie❤
Great actress great person. Her Daddy must be so proud Up in heaven.❤
One of the best actresses ! ♥️
So glad for this movie and I hope Alaska Daily is cancelled forever. It was one of the only good things to watch because of Hillary Swank !
Wha a wonderful story and I'm not just talking about the movie.
Hilary, kudos to you on time well spent, three years, that you'll never regret having spent with your dad.
Great actress, great person❤
Awwww Hillary bless you.💜💫
An amazing actress; an amazing human.
Probably the most genuinely beautiful woman in the world 😊
I Thank God for the grace and strength of Hillary Swank 💗💗I was soo excited when she won her first Oscar. My baby brother is gay and that movie helped bring a little more acceptance and million dollar baby was like a bio pic for all us kids treated badly by our Mom’s and still fought onward to our happiness, most of all her role in iron jawed Angels the fight for women’s right to vote still inspires me today 💗but her latest movie on missing, murdered and indigenous women is totally a blessing to all the voices silenced from violence 💗💗🥰🥰God bless Hillary Swank💗💗
She is the real deal boys and girls she should get an Oscar for her value,s .Simply but family and doing what right and not about money are things that have been forgotten about by all but a few. Now isnt it a pity..
Authentic ❤
Great actress. I like to see her performance more.
She's so great😊
Hillary Swank is an awesome Actress!!
I love Hilary Swank 👠👠.
She's A Great Actress..
Hillary YOU are so real. Keep being you.
Amazing
Wow
Let's wish gifted actors never get tired having fun performing and entertain us fans because we are all addicted to stories, emotions and cinema big ... special effects, the parallel universe created by fiction industry most of the times is helping us fix the real life...that makes us feel so tiny, helpless, alone or overwhelmed, have fun guys having us fans always in your minds Ok?❤🎉❤
Now that is a real person! Wish I knew her.
My hairdresser looks EXACTLY like HILARY.
what a great person
