She Wanted to learn from the best, an upcoming boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) wants the coach Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) to train her. At the outset, he flatly refuses saying he has no interest in training a girl. Frankie leads a lonely existence, alienated from his only daughter and having few friends. Maggie's rough around the edges, but shows a lot of grit in the ring and he eventually relents. Maggie not only proves to be the boxer he always dreamed of having under his wing, but a friend who fills the great void he's had in his life. Maggie's career skyrockets, but an accident in the ring leads her to ask Frankie for one last favor. Won 4 academy Oscar awards
The critically acclaimed film "Million Dollar Baby" is directed by Clint Eastwood and won 2 Golden Globes and 4 Oscars. Unlike "Mystic River", Clint Eastwood is also in front of the camera in this film, where he plays the aging boxing trainer and promoter, Frankie Dunn, who very reluctantly takes Maggie Fitzgerald (played by Hilary Swank) into his stable. For Maggie, boxing is the way out of her previous miserable "white trash" life. For Frankie, she is the last chance to deliver a real champion. The cast also includes Morgan Freeman as the retired boxer and assistant in Frankie's stable.
