Hilary Swank on ‘Amelia Earhart’, playing a real person and immersing herself into characters
October 28, 2009 by Lance Carter
Filed under Performing Arts News
You immerse yourself really deeply into your characters; how did you immerse yourself into Amelia?
Well, you know, first of all, there was the physicality of it. Amelia is an icon and this image that we all know very well, so the physicality of it was something that was fun, you know? I cut my hair off, I became blonde. She had freckles. Understanding how she carried herself is a big part of playing Amelia. The cadence in which she spoke, her accent — for eight weeks I studied 16 minutes of newsreel on Amelia, which was really difficult. I think her accent was the most challenging accent that I’ve ever done in my career of accents. It was hard for me to get.
And you took flying lessons?
I did, I took flying lessons. I couldn’t imagine playing Amelia Earhart and not learning how to fly, so it’s pretty great to say, “I learned how to fly to play Amelia Earhart,” because it something I’ve actually always wanted to do. One of the exciting things about my job is that I really get to step in all these different shoes and learn things that I might not have had I not been an actor.
