Winning two Oscars doesn't guarantee that you'll become recognizable. Just ask Hilary Swank. Girl's got not one but two of the golden statues, but still there are people who don't know her from a hole in the ground. Like this one security guard at the Golden Globes. Seems Swank's limo was trying to pull up to the Beverly Hilton before the ceremony, but security stopped it because the driver had failed to bring along the proper credentials. Swank, hoping to sway the guard, stuck her head out the window, but the guard failed to realize who she was. This forced Swank and her partner, agent John Campsi, to exit the limo and find another so they could be driven up to the red carpet. And of course Swank was very gracious and understanding about the mix-up, right? Wrong. According to witnesses, classy Swank turned around and gave the security guard the finger.
Asswaddery, thy name is Hilary Swank.
Yes, I say Swank is an asswad. Because the security guard was only doing his job (and god knows, in these trying times, you have to be strict). So it was out-of-line for Swank to vent her anger at him like that. Of course, Swank was only partly angry about the inconvenience (which was really the driver's fault anyway). What really pissed her off, obviously, was the fact that the guard, upon seeing her Oscar-winning mug, didn't immediately cream his pants, and start groveling and telling her she could go right in. Obviously, Swank thinks she's some huge star, and deserves to be treated like one at all times. So when the guard didn't just turn to mush in her presence, it offended her ego. Stupid little bitch got lucky by having movies out in down years for Best Actress nominees, and now she thinks she's the second coming of Eleanora Duse.
