Support
Hanks isn’t shy about saying how his wife has supported him over the years. When he won his first Academy Award for Best Actor in 1992 for Philadelphia, his speech included the words, “I am here only because the woman I live my life with shows me what love is every day!”
And Hanks isn’t a slouch about supporting Rita Wilson. In 2015, Wilson got diagnosed with breast cancer, and she was scared about how the diagnosis could affect their marriage. Evidently, it didn’t, and all Hanks could say about his wife was, “All I can do is bow down before the courage of my wife.”
The coolest part of that story: Wilson is cancer free, and didn’t even need chemotherapy.
