30-Jul-1974


United States


Actress

Born of Spanish and Native American heritage on July 29, 1974, in the state of Washington, Hilary grew up in a prime home park on the outskirts of the small town of Bellingham. She first tried to get involved at the age of nine after taking the lead position as Mowgli in the production of Jungle Book. And theater remained a thrill during her school years, though it also showed her ingenuity as an athlete. She competed in the Junior and Washington Athletics competitions, and was fifth in the region in the gym. Although Hilary eventually settled down to play, she never lost her love of sports and continues to enjoy adrenaline-stimulating activities such as skydiving, rafting and skiing.
