If Hilary Swank's characters have a common thread, it would be resilience in the face of adversity. That's what won her both her Oscars, for 1999's Boys Don't Cry and 2004's Million Dollar Baby.

Local California Resident's Adnan Gill & Saima Gill Spend Day with Hilary Swank on set of "You're Not You" | #ALS AWARENESS #LouGehrigsDisease #PARKINSONS | Scoop.it

Adnan says:

 

Yesterday was a good learning experience. A common conception was belied, that Hollywood is full of filthy rich people who get so much for so little. Learned how much planing, work and effort goes behind each scene. It takes years of planing, tons of investment and enormous hard work on the foundation of genuine dedication to make a good movie. It's a fruit of labor of thousands, directly or indirectly involved in the industry. Hence, source of income for thousands of families.

Therefore, please support those families by watching the movies and in return take a wild ride on the roller coaster of fantasies. 'You're Not You' is highly recommended.
