Hilary
Swank Still Angry Over 90210 Firing
1/4/08
Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is still upset she was fired from TV
show Beverly Hills, 90210 in the late 1990s.
Swank admits she lost confidence in her acting ability when television
bosses decided she wasn't good enough for the then-ailing teen program.
But the 33-year-old had the last laugh when she won her first Academy
Award for her performance in Boys Don't Cry just two years later in 2000,
and went on to claim a second Oscar for Million Dollar Baby.
She says, "They (producers) never told me why, they just said it
wasn't working... Especially when it's in its eighth season and no one's
watching it.
You just think, 'I'm not good enough for this show?'"
