NEW YORK - Hilary Swank is recovering after a hospital procedure to remove a small, benign growth, a representative for the Oscar-winning actress said Thursday.
“She was experiencing some discomfort and went to see her doctor, who prescribed an immediate course of action that included a brief hospitalization” to eliminate the growth, Swank’s manager, Jason Weinberg, said in a statement.
“Her condition has been resolved and there are no continuing health issues, with the exception of some short-term rest and recuperation,” Weinberg said.
He would not provide further details.
Swank, 34, won Oscars for her roles in “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby.” Her screen credits also include “Freedom Writers,” “P.S. I Love You” and the upcoming “Amelia.”
