Hilary Swank Removes Mysterious Growth

NEW YORK — Hilary Swank is recovering after a hospital procedure to remove a small, benign growth, a representative for the Oscar-winning actress said Thursday.

"She was experiencing some discomfort and went to see her doctor, who prescribed an immediate course of action that included a brief hospitalization" to eliminate the growth, Swank's manager, Jason Weinberg, said in a statement.

"Her condition has been resolved and there are no continuing health issues, with the exception of some short-term rest and recuperation," Weinberg said.

He would not provide further details.

Swank, 34, won Oscars for her roles in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby." Her screen credits also include "Freedom Writers," "P.S. I Love You" and the upcoming "Amelia."

I think Hillary is a brilliant actress. Really just amazing. But I don't understand it when people rave about how beautiful she is. She is extremely homely.

I think she and Matt Damon are the same person. But she is one of those people who gets better looking the more that comes out of her mouth; some people start out looking great, then get uglier with every word.

I guess you are right. She is so very bright and interesting that she does become more attractive as she speaks.

[MeanGreenMachine]

It helps if first you like girls.

Swank removes growth. What, her divorce is finalized?

[FrictionSoul]

Was that growth phallic in nature?

On first read I thought the headline was referring to her new lover.
