Swank hopes to rescue marriage

Hilary Swank and her husband, Chad Lowe, recently announced their separation, but the Oscar-winning actress says they hope to rescue their eight-year marriage.

“We’re still trying to save it,” Swank said at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California. “It’s not over, we’re not divorced. We’ve been together for more than 13 years, and there’s a lot of love there.”

Swank, who wore her wedding ring to the awards ceremony, added: “We’re still married.”

Swank, 31, and Lowe, 38, announced their split on January 9. They were married in 1997 and have no children.

The actress, who won Oscars for Boys Don’t Cry and Million Dollar Baby, next stars in the Brian De Palma-directed crime drama, The Black Dahlia.

Lowe won an Emmy Award in 1993 for his performance on the US TV series Life Goes On.
