Hilary Swank Ready To Fly Solo
Hilary Swank caught the “aviation bug” while filming for her upcoming role as Amelia Earhart. Hilary racked up 19 hours in flight time but couldn’t complete the solo requirement. “You have to fly solo, obviously, to get your pilot’s license and the insurance policy on the movie was never going to allow me do that.” She plans to finish what she started, however. “I definitely want to see that through,” she said. Hilary shared with Access Hollywood about portraying the most famous female pilot in history. “She had the Amelia Earhart clothing line, the Amelia Earhart luggage – and it was all to finance her flying,” Hilary said of Amelia’s stardom. “This was a woman who made no apologies for living her life the way she wanted,” Hilary told Access at the film’s junket. “She was ahead of her time, in the ‘20s and ‘30s. She was living in 2009.” The movie opens in theaters this Friday. Are you planning to go see it? I think Hilary is an amazingly talented actress and I’m intrigued to see Hollywood’s take on Amelia’s life. Photos by WENN
