    Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank returns to TV in FX's 'Trust'

    by Yvonne Villarreal, Los Angeles Times Apr 03, 2018 5 minutes

    The question makes two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank blush.

    "You were fired from 'Beverly Hills, 90210'?"

    Wait, wait. Let her explain. About 20 years ago, Swank joined Fox's popular young adult drama that had already made mega-celebrities of its cast members, including Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty. She played cash-strapped single mom Carly Reynolds, the love interest to perpetually immature Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering).

    But roughly halfway into her first season - the show's eighth - she got called in for a meeting by producers.

    "They were like, 'Look, it's not working,'" Swank recalls recently. "And I couldn't move. I was like, 'What's not working? Me? Am I bad? I'm not working because I'm bad?'"

    It turns out that fans had written in saying they preferred Steve unattached. "I ... yeah," Swank says, still finding it hard to put her befuddlement into words.
