Rita Wilson looks back: ‘Cancer was terrifying, but now I see it as a gift. It gave me an extra lease on life’

The actor and producer on being a teenage model, making My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and the secret to long-lasting love

Born in Hollywood in 1956, Rita Wilson’s first role was in The Brady Bunch at the age of 15. She went on to appear in Frasier and The Good Wife, as well as romcom classics such as Sleepless in Seattle and Runaway Bride. She produced the highest‑grossing romcom of all time, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, as well as Mamma Mia! and A Man Called Otto, which starred her husband, Tom Hanks, and son Truman. Alongside her career on screen, she has released music since 2012. Her sixth studio album, Sound of a Woman, is out on 1 May.

Rita Wilson had a blunt request for Tom Hanks amid cancer diagnosis

The actress and country music singer, who battled breast cancer more than a decade ago, opened up about how the health scare impacted her relationship with longtime husband Tom Hanks.

In 2015, Wilson, then 58, revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had undergone a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction.

During an appearance at 92NY on Tuesday, April 28, for her upcoming "Sound of a Woman" album, Wilson told friend and interviewer Demi Moore about the emotional request she had for Hanks if she didn't survive her cancer journey, according to People magazine.

"I said to Tom, I'm like, 'OK, if something happens and I go first, I just have two requests,'" Wilson, now 69, said, per the outlet. "And one is that you should be sad for a very, very long time."

Rita Wilson Reveals Cancer Diagnosis Deal With Husband Tom Hanks

Rita Wilson, 69, is looking back at one of the personal conversations she had with husband Tom Hanks, 69, after her cancer diagnosis—and the two requests she made if things didn’t go her way. Speaking on Tuesday at the Sound of a Woman: Rita Wilson in Conversation with Demi Moore event, the actress said she wasn’t sure what the future held when she was diagnosed in 2015, so she laid it out plainly for her husband of nearly four decades. First: “Be sad for a very long time.” Second: “Throw me a party. I want it to be a celebration of life,” she said, with people “telling stories and joy and remembering me in that way.” That deeply personal moment later inspired her 2019 song “Throw Me a Party.” Wilson’s reflections come as she marks 10 years cancer-free. In a March 31 Instagram post, she looked back on her journey, including undergoing a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery—milestones she said have left her “extremely grateful” for the support of her family, friends, and doctors. Wilson first met Hanks on the set of the sitcom Bosom Buddies. After two years of dating, they got married in 1988 and went on to have two children, Chester “Chet” Hanks and Truman Theodore Hanks.
