Hilary Swank: ‘I Had an Academy Award, No Health Insurance’ (Video)
Hilary Swank broke out with her Oscar-winning role in 1999’s “Boys Don’t Cry,” but that doesn’t mean she was covered for prescription medicines to treat breakouts.
Swank revealed on Netflix series “Chelsea” that at 24-years-old she was paid just $3,000 for the independent film.
“I had an Academy Award, no health insurance,” Swank said.
Swank then shared another story with dinner party host Chelsea Handler and fellow guests Ava DuVernay, Connie Britton and Miss USA Deshauna Barber — this one was about income inequality.
