Hilary Swank was turned away from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Monday night - because security guards failed to recognise her.
The Oscar-winning actress's limo pulled up in front of the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton hotel, but security stopped the driver and after finding he didn't have the right credentials, moved him on.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Hilary stuck her head out of the window so they could see who she was and asked very politely to be let through.
"But the guards didn't recognise her and refused her entry."
The Million Dollar Baby star and her boyfriend, her agent John Campsi, had to get out of their vehicle and find another limo that was permitted to drive up to the red carpet.
But witnesses said a furious Hilary made a rude hand gesture at the security guard when she did finally gain entry.
The source said: "Before she went inside Hilary turned to the guard and flipped him off."
