The Million Dollar Baby star once called a car home. As a teen, Swank moved to Los Angeles with her mother to pursue acting, and they reportedly lived out of an old car for a couple of weeks while also crashing at a friends’ house. “We had a friend who was selling their house,” she told CBS News. “And so they said, ‘You know, there’s no furniture, but you can stay there at night. And then, during the day, you have to leave so we can try and sell it. So we got air mattresses. Blew the air mattresses up. Slept on the air mattresses. And left in the morning.” Within months of their arrival, however, the Oscar-winning actress started landing roles and they found more permanent accommodations.
