OUR SUBJECT: Hilary Swank
HER RÉSUMÉ: At age 32, Swank has been in the biz-with a series of first-rate performances-for almost half her life. (Remember The Next Karate Kid? Yup, breakout role-as the Karate Kid, of course.) The two-time Oscar winner wrapped her latest film, P.S., I Love You, on Thursday at 6 a.m., squeezed in a little sleep and a Pilates session, and made it to our shoot Friday by 8 a.m.
