Hollywood was more patriarchal than ever when I started: Hilary Swank
LOS ANGELES: (Apr 10) Oscar-winning actor Hilary Swank says Hollywood was "patriarchal" back then but is now becoming "more inclusive".
Known for projects like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby", Swank recalled the time she entered the industry and said the female point of view wasn't necessary at all and men wrote the scripts.
"Thankfully, it’s becoming more inclusive. But when I started, it was more patriarchal than ever. And so I was playing roles that were written by men from what a female point of view is, and it wasn’t necessarily true," she told Women’s Health in an interview.
