Four Hundred Second in the Famous People (FP) Series - Rita Wilson
Rita Wilson (born Margarita Ibrahimova on October 26, 1956) is an American actress and producer. She is married to actor Tom Hanks since 1988.
Wilson originally met Tom Hanks in 1981 on the set of Bosom Buddies (1980) when she guest-starred as Peter Scolari's Satan-worshiping girlfriend. But their relationship wouldn't be kindled until they were reunited on the set of Volunteers in 1985.
She is widely credited with landing Nia Vardalos a movie deal for My Big Fat Greek Wedding (now the top money making independent film of all time, surpassing the $200 million mark), after seeing Vardalos perform her autobiographical one-woman show. She got her husband (Tom Hanks) to set up the film at his company, Playtone, which shopped it around to financiers and distributors on the strength of the Hanks-Wilson seal of approval. (Side note: Rita and Tom had a Big Fat Greek Wedding of their own in 1988).
Wilson appeared in Nora Ephron's Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin. Although many critics claimed the titled should have been changed to Pine Nuts.
