Hanks married actress Rita Wilson in 1988. The two first met on the set of Hanks's television show Bosom Buddies (1981) but later developed a romantic interest while working on the film Volunteers(1985). Rita Wilson plays Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife in Jingle All the Way (1996).
She is often credited with being the driving force behind Nia Vardalos' movie deal for My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which became the highest-grossing independent film of all time
Rita Wilson wasn't so attractive back then...I first saw her in the film "Jingle All the Way" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and damn! She was so fine...she's one of those women that ages like fine wine...only gets better as the years go by.
So Tom Hanks ended up with Rita Wilson, and Donna Dixon ended up with Hank's co-star in Dragnet, Dan Akroyd. Peter Scolari then fell off the face of the earth.
Phi1618033 Peter actually did not fall off the face of the earth. He has been in alot just look at IMDB. Also He and Tom are still good friends, he was even in Tom's movie That Thing You Do.
I defiantly agree she is fit, very beautiful actresses, and I will say talented, I really liked her in Now and Then and few of her other movies. The only thing that honestly really made me upset with her, was the day I learned, her and Tom had an affair, at that time Rita was engaged to someone else, and Tom was married with a 11 year old son Colin, and 6 year old Elizabeth, at the time. It is just sad when young children are involved. I don't just blame Rita, I do blame Tom. It does take two.
Dressing up in women's clothing has nothing to do with being gay. In fact most cross-dressers are straight men. You're thinking of travestites. Do your research before making assumptions about people.
What the hell is your problem guys Hanks didnt do anything. And what the hell are you talking about?! Hanks isnt a fool just because his famous. You guys are the gay guys and I think his smile is cute;)
peter scolari was so much more likable and sincere than tom 'chip on my shoulder' hanks. i was always surprised hanks became the big star. but hey, that's life on earth. the jerks and phonies who fool the fools win the glory.

tom hanks is such a liar. he told leno he met his wife rita wilson filming their movie 'volunteers' but look where they REALLY met 3 yrs earlier. i guess he didn't wanna reference this show since rumors about him after his oscar speech were already floating during that interview.
Not necessarily a lie, just misspeaking. He doesn't have a lot of scenes with her here (she's Scolari's girl) so while he met her he didn't really get to know her. It was on VOLUNTEERS that they became a couple.
And to Hanks's credit, he's always been proud of BOSOM BUDDIES, has worked with Scolari other times, and hired the BOSOM BUDDIES director Joel Zwick to direct MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING.
i haven't heard hanks reference this show since he left it. 'proud of it' my booty. he probably is for personal reasons but deosn't wanna fuel the gay rumors by referencing it.
well i don't think Hanks is gay or anything. I think he just is embarrassed at having dressed up as a woman. Who cares? It was for a role in a tv show. Now if he were doing it in real life, well....
i never thought of Hanks as arrogant. Haven't seen the picture you're referring to but i know his smile and it's more childlike and goofy than gay. Ok-Cards on the table--You're president of the Peter Scolari fan club,aren't you? Lol! Arrogant or not, Hanks is a pretty good actor and humorist. Look at Russell Crowe-Phenomal talent, but a bit too edgy in real life. What can you do? Is what it is, I guess.
Boy are you stupid. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Harvey Korman, Martin Lawrence, Gene Hackman, Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving (from The Matrix), Robin William, Dustin Huffman, Shawn and Marlon Wayans among so many others have dressed as women for the camera. Why would Tom Hanks be afraid of anyone thinking he's gay because he dressed as a woman for a stupid sitcom in the 80's.
I wish I could remember the name of the movie, but think that is where tom and rita met, movie has john candy in it as well, just the title has slipped my mind but yes rita is close by in some of tom's movies because of great chemistry he has with other actresses whether it's helen hunt, meg ryan, catherine zeta jones or others
yeah I haven't gotten on here in a while to post it. I have it on dvd and I am not sure what came first but am almost certain it was Volunteers, any idea what exact date she was on boson buddies?
Tom Hanks' second wife Rita Wilson. I cannot believe they both met again for the second time. Bosom Buddies was an era when Colin Hanks was a baby before he was famous in the movie Orange County.
i LOVE rita wilson- the scene in You've Got Mail (?) where she's talking about the old Cary Grant movie over dinner with her friends is just priceless.
donna dixon was a fucking babe back in the day screw rita wilson don akroyd is lucky
