HILARY SWANK - SWANK BEGGED TO BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

HILARY SWANK begged studio executives to let her take Christmas off after realising they had her promoting her new film P.S. I LOVE YOU in Europe throughout the holidays. The Oscar winner was upset when she first saw her schedule, because it meant her plans to have a family Christmas wouldn't be possible. She explains, "I was asked to go to Europe to promote this movie, and I said, `I'll go right up 'til the 21st (Dec07), when the movie opens, but please let me be home for Xmas.'"
