Hilary Swank Grounded For Movie
Hilary Swank may be playing world famous woman pilot Amelia Earhart in her new movie, Amelia, but the production company of the film kept her firmly on the ground. Swank had been training for her pilot license but that quickly came to an end.
“I had about 19 hours of flying under my belt, but the insurance policy on the movie was never going to allow me do that,” she said.
“It’s something I take very seriously. I’m not a big sweater, but when I land, my back is drenched. It takes a lot of concentration. It’s really exhilarating.
“You can’t play Amelia Earhart and not learn how to fly. That’s just wrong in every way.”
I love that she decided to take flying lessons in order to play Amelia. She’s right, not learning at least the basics of flying and playing one of the world’s most well known aviators would have been very “wrong”.
I wonder if Angelina Jolie’s movie producers put the same limits on her.
