Swank's 'vulnerable' role as Alzheimer's patient's daughter
The new film “What They Had” explores the painful journey of a family coping with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Its accomplished cast includes Blythe Danner as an ailing mother and Hilary Swank as the daughter who comes home to care for her. Swank speaks with Jeffrey Brown about why her ability to relate to her character rendered the role “the most vulnerable” of her career.
