Being a teenager was a horrid time.
I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago.
I don't know what I did in this life to deserve all of this. I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream.
I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.
I had to fight my whole life to break out.
I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
I'm only twenty-seven, and I'm not easy to pigeonhole. But if you need to do that, if it makes you feel comfortable, okay, fine.
One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.
The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.
On January 9th, 2007, Hilary was presented with the 2325th star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
