Hilary
Swank's Charity Work Honored
2/22/08
Oscar winner Hilary Swank was honored for her cancer charity work in
Los Angeles on Wednesday (20Feb08) night.
The Million Dollar Baby star was presented with the Entertainment
Industry Foundation's 2008 Courage Award in recognition of her efforts on
behalf of the EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund.
Among those paying tribute to Swank at the glitzy pre-Oscars event were
Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Christian Slater.
Last year (07), the actress cut nine inches off her hair on Oprah
Winfrey's U.S. TV show to encourage others to donate their locks to
cancer survivors.
