Hilary Swank loves discount vouchers

Hilary Swank loves discount vouchersHilary Swank uses money off vouchers when she goes shopping.

Although the Oscar-winning actress is financially secure and lives in a Los Angles mansion, she doesn't see why she should have to pay full price for something if she doesn't have to, as she has always been taught the value of money.

The 36-year-old beauty - who grew up on a trailer park - said: "I would use a coupon - just because I have some money now, I wouldn't? That doesn't make sense to me. I see it as a dollar in my pocket. People around me laugh, because I have a deep understanding of what a dollar gets you and how far to make that dollar go.

No wonder my closet is a hodgepodge. I have everything from Louboutins to Gap. You don't have to have a brand name to be stylish. You can mix it together and it works.

As well as still using vouchers to go shopping, the 'Conviction' star also revealed how her upbringing has made her appreciate the good things and not let the bad times bring her down.

She told InStyle magazine: "You hear people say, 'Oh, I didn't get that bonus,' or, 'I got fired.' And look, I've experienced not getting that bonus and I've gotten fired. I feel it and say, 'That sucks.' I get depressed. I cry. I have feelings. I don't gloss over them. But then, after that, I pick myself up, brush myself off and say,' Why did this happen? What am I supposed to learn?'"

Thursday, November 1, 2007

Hilary SwankOscar winner Hilary Swank has received a haircut from talk show host Oprah Winfrey as part of a cancer charity campaign.

The Million Dollar Baby star had been growing her locks long so she could donate them to a cancer sufferer, through hair product giant Pantene's Beautiful Lengths campaign.

The charity push aims to encourage women and men to cut and donate their hair for wigs to aid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

During an appearance on U.S. TV's Oprah Winfrey Show, set to air in America on Friday , Swank had nine inches of her flowing hair cut off by the media mogul.

She said, "I've been growing it for the last six months to donate my hair.

I've been taking a lot of vitamins and taking really good care of it, knowing that it would go to a woman in need".

Winfrey added, "It's taken months to get to this moment. It involves a two-time Academy Award winner, a sharp object, and me".
