As Chris works, Swank will simultaneously try to give an interview, telling a story about her reaction to Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran's now infamous strikeout to decide the National League Championship, which she attended in person and which she will talk about for nearly seven minutes, a rather incisive discourse by a rabid fan forgetting for a moment the fact that she calls them points instead of runs on matters of fame and talent and opportunities lost, on the value of the long run and the big picture, meanwhile carefully keeping closed the ranks of celebrity, never once even suggesting that the great man might have choked.
She has an older brother Daniel Swank.
She was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States on July 30, 1974.
