The Oscar winner had the pleasure of working with hunky actors Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor in the film, which follows the life of pilot Amelia Earhart.

The 35-year-old actress, who grew up on a trailer park in America, holds her mother Jude Swank responsible for her Hollywood career, because she made her believe in herself.
She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “My mom has been a great role model. She gave me the gift of believing in me, which in turn made me believe in myself. She told me, ‘You can do anything you want, as long as you work hard enough -- don’t let anyone get in the way.”
