Mon, 26 May 2008 at 2:57 am

Hilary Swank and costar Ewan McGregor are spotted on the set of their new movie, Amelia, at the historic event space Carlu in Toronto, Canada on Sunday.

Swank plays the title character, the legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world. McGregor plays author Gore Vidal’s father, the great love of Amelia’s life. Richard Gere (not pictured) plays Amelia’s husband, George Putnam. Virginia Madsen plays the ex-wife of Putnam.

Horse faced Swank is so hideously ugly and untalented.I shudder to think what she agreed to do to win those oscars.

I saw pictures of Amelia Earhart, and Hillary could be her daughter! Amelia was not stunningly pretty. But for me, she was (or is) the bravest and most intelligent woman in aviation, my respect to Diana Barnato Walker!!

And if my mother named me after this Lady, I would be very proud.

Hillary Swank is one of a very few actress who could cry without any voice. (Laura Linney, Glen Glose, Meryl Streep, naming a few). And for me, her acting can touch me more than Gwyneth Paltrow’s, for example.

For me, to be able to see somebody inner beauty and skills, is a sign of being grown-up. Because looks can be very deceiving. Hillary might not a beauty for some, but for me, she is a very good actress, and I think she proved it by winning Oscar twice! For that, I don’t need her beauty!

I think Katherine Hepburn played Amelia a long time ago. Hopefully that wig will not look like that in the movie. And I hope she wears a full support bra, as she’s looking a bit saggy. Not so sure I “get” her as an actress, (yes, I know she won an Oscar)

Is that what it is all about and what people have come to be? Most of you care about is how Hillary looks? Get a life!!!

You don’t have to be one of those shallow actresses to have any talent! In fact, the only thing those kind of people have going for them is their looks…. no talent!!

Anyway, I have you all beat… I have just come from watching vintage airplanes being filmed in my hometown for the movie!!
