We’ll see if boys don’t cry.

Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe have taken the phrase “should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind” literally this year, announcing their separation earlier today after eight years of marriage. She’s best known for being a two-time Academy Award winner, most recently for her role in the movie Million Dollar Baby. And he’s best know for being the person Hilary forgot to thank in her first Oscar acceptance speech and for being the brother of Rob Lowe. But no award or famous sibling will ever top what I know them best for – when Hilary played uptight, single mom Carly on Beverly Hills, 90210 and Chad played Sydney’s pseudo-sugar daddy Carter on Melrose Place, coincidentally both back in 1997. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on.
