Trivia
Children with Tom Hanks: Chester (b. August 1990) and Truman (b. December 1995).
She originally met Tom Hanks in 1981 on the set of Bosom Buddies when she guest-starred as Peter Scolari's Satan-worshiping girlfriend. But their relationship wasn't kindled until they were reunited on the set of Volunteers.

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).
Her niece, Carly Reeves, appears on-screen with her in the movie Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff.
Niece, Kristen Reeves, is an entertainment reporter for Orange County TV.
Her father chose to change their last name to Wilson, because that was the name of the street they lived on.
Won a Los Angeles Drama-Logue Award for Best Actress for her stage performance in "As You Like It".
Attended Hollywood High School in California and later studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in England.
Made her Broadway debut as a Roxie Hart replacement in "Chicago".
