The Incredible Hilary Swank

She shocked the world with her brilliant portrayal of Teena Brandon/Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry and won her first Oscar.

She proved she wasn't a fluke when she wowed the world as Maggie Fitzgerald in Million Dollar Baby and snagged her second Oscar.

She is beautiful, with a megawatt smile. She's frighteningly talented and her career is only just beginning.

I adore Hilary and she is my favorite actress along with Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep.

Who else adores her as much as I do?

She is wonderful. I will be glad when she makes a movie that she shines in that is not as depressing as Million Dollar Baby and Boys Don't Cry were.

I loved both movies but want her to really shine the same way in a more upbeat movie - so that I can enjoy her over and over. I can only watch both of her great movies every once in awhile.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Steve. You need a prozac to watch those two movies. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in the upcoming "The Reaping" and "The Black Dahlia", the latter of which she plays a femme fatale. It'll be nice to see her in completely feminine roles.

Both of those sound good. It would be nice too if she could get a role in the upcoming remake of 1939's The Women. I know at one time it was a vehicle for Julia Roberts, but now is said to be starring Annette Benning, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Meg Ryan, and Uma Thurman. The 1939 cast was all star too and I think it would be good to see Hillary thrown in there. I love watching the old one and so many of the scenes were so funny.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.
