Hilary Swank- The 36-year-old actress looks sexy and sophisticated as she graces the cover of InStyle magazine’s September 2010 issue.
Life hasn’t always been easy for Hilary Swank, the two-time Oscar winner, who grew up in Bellingham, Wash — but giving up was never—and still isn’t—an option. ,” “People around me laugh because I still have a deep understanding of what a dollar gets you and how far to make that dollar go. No wonder my closet is a hodgepodge. I have everything from Louboutins to Payless. From Gap to designer stuff. You don’t have to have a brand name on to be stylish. You can mix it all together and it works.”
Hilary Swank also shares her relationship with ex-husband and her outlook at divorce : “A lot of people look at divorce as a failure. I really looked at my relationship with Chad [Lowe, her ex husband] as 14 years of success. I will carry him in my heart forever. He’s part of me… Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways? There’s a part of me that thinks that’s true. We have friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship.”
