Hillary Swank Is Still Sore Over '90210' Firing - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is still upset she was fired from TV show Beverly Hills, 90210 in the late 1990s. Swank admits she lost confidence in her acting ability when television bosses decided she wasn't good enough for the then-ailing teen program.

But the 33-year-old had the last laugh when she won her first Academy Award for her performance in Boys Don't Cry just two years later in 2000, and went on to claim a second Oscar for Million Dollar Baby.

She says, "They (producers) never told me why, they just said it wasn't working... Especially when it's in its eighth season and no one's watching it. You just think, 'I'm not good enough for this show?'"

Don't worry abt it Hillary. If no one was watching, then what's the problem? No one could salvage the show after 8 seasons. You proved that it wasn't your acting ability.

Hillary, forget the past. I rented your last movie "The Reaping."

You should be upset with whoever reads your scripts and tells you "this is a good one!"
