The Swank Quarterly

 Yesterday, we were thankful. Today, we are grateful... for Hilary Swank being able to demonstrate the Unifying Theme of Shades of Gray.

As Summer gives way to Autumn, Hilary sits in the open window and watches the change of seasons take place.

 No mask. No pants. Hilary is celebrating the end of Covid-19 restrictions in her own way!

 Hats by Himerius hired Hilary to help hawk their headwares.

"Don't wear anything that distracts from the hats," they told her.

"You got it," she replied.

In 1999, shortly before her star shot to full ascendancy with her Oscar-winning role in "Boys Don't Cry", Hilary Swank sat for portraits with photographer Rick McGinnis. (And that is literal... she sat on the floor in a hotel hallway where a film festival was taking place.)

For more pictures from this series, as well as extensive comments from McGinnis about the circumstances under which it came to pass, click here.

It's Summer. It's too hot. Like the rest of us, Hilary Swank is just trying to stay cool...

Hilary Swank is looking outside and wondering--will I get to go anywhere in June?!

Hillary Swank is cheering, because she's joining the ranks of great actresses--like Bessie Love, Milla Jovovich, and June Collyer--who've been featured as Quarterlies here at Shades of Gray.

Born in 1974, Hilary Swank was an accomplished high school athlete who began acting professionally in her teens, with roles on a variety of television series during the early 1990s, with her starring role in "The Next Karate Kid" (1994) being the film that first garnered her lots of public attention. After starring in a string of thrillers and horror movies during the late 1990s (as well as recurring roles on a number of television series, such as "Beverly Hills 90210"), she earned an Academy Award for "Boys Don't Cry" in 1999. Today, Swank continues to split her time between  television and horror/suspense films. Her forthcoming projects are the horror film "The Hunt" and the sci-fi television series "Away" (neither of have projected released dates yet).

Will the future just hold pretty pictures of Swank, or will she be revealed to be a secret superhero or robot-fighter? Stay tuned!a
