to:
* ActorInspiredElement: ''Film/TheReaping'' was to be set in New England. Hilary persuaded them to move it to the DeepSouth. Then [[OhCrap Hurricane Katrina struck]].
* ActorSharedBackground:
** She has a similar upbringing to her character Maggie in ''Film/MillionDollarBaby''.
** She's also from Lincoln, Nebraska like her character Brandon in ''Film/BoysDontCry''.
* TheCastShowOff: She got to show off her gymnastics background in ''The Next Karate Kid''.
* ChronicallyKilledActor: "I usually die in my movies. I don't live to see the credits."
* DawsonCasting: She was in her mid-twenties playing a teen on ''Series/BeverlyHills90210''.
* DyeHard: She's naturally blonde but is best known for being brunette.
* DoingItForTheArt: She earned just $75 a day on ''Film/BoysDontCry'' but did the film out of sheer love for the subject matter.
* DyeingForYourArt:
** For ''Film/BoysDontCry'' she cut her long hair short and dyed it chestnut brown, as well as losing weight. She lived as a boy for weeks, and her neighbours thought the person leaving her house every morning was her brother visiting.
** Although she had an athletic background, she had to gain twenty pounds of muscle for ''Film/MillionDollarBaby''. Her former clothes didn't fit for years afterwards.
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. Usually plays {{Iron Woobie}}s and serious driven characters. The director of ''Film/FreedomWriters'' noted she was more of a goofball than her characters, and cast her in ''Film/PSILoveYou'' to show this side.
* LyingCreator: She lied to Kimberly Peirce that she was the same age as her character in ''Film/BoysDontCry''. When she was found out, she defended herself saying "that's what Brandon would do."
* MethodActing: While filming ''Film/MillionDollarBaby'' she contracted a serious bacterial infection and only took a week's medicated rest off, not telling the producers or Clint Eastwood. Because she felt her character wouldn't be honest about her injury.
* TheOtherMarty: Creator/GinniferGoodwin became this to her after she dropped out of ''Film/SomethingBorrowed''.
* PlayingAgainstType:
** She plays a FemmeFatale in ''Film/TheBlackDahlia''.
** In ''Film/PSILoveYou'' she goes against type as a more {{Adorkable}} character, which was director Richard [=LaGravenese=] wanting to cast her in a role closer to her own personality.
* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: She was noted to have a strong resemblance to Amelia Earhart, hence why she was cast in ''Amelia''.
* StarDerailingRole: The failures of ''Film/PSILoveYou'' and ''Film/TheReaping'' are thought to have damaged her star power, and ''Amelia'''s flopping didn't help matters. She then took a break from acting in order to care for her sick father.
* StarMakingRole: Before ''Film/BoysDontCry'' she hadn't been doing a lot of high-profile work. Then her Oscar win rocketed her to stardom almost overnight.
* TomHanksSyndrome: She got her start in {{Teen Drama}}s and a lot of sitcoms that didn't make it past one season. Her Oscar win solidified her as a dramatic actress.
* TypeCasting: In the 2000s Hilary found herself playing a lot of {{Iron Woobie}}s who are determined to achieve their goals in life.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She campaigned really hard for the lead role in ''Changeling'', which ultimately went to Creator/AngelinaJolie.
** She was cast on ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'' for two years but fired after only sixteen episodes.
