More well-known as the wife of Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson was born from a Muslim Bulgarian father but turned into an unabashed member of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The vivacious journeyman actress has graced roles from "The Brady Bunch" to "Frasier" and has recorded an album and won a "Visionary" award as the producing stalwart behind the then biggest indie hit of all time, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in 2002.
She staunchly supports the Moffitt Cancer Center in her native Los Angeles and is a welcome force from children's charities.
She and husband Tom are one of Hollywood's most stable couples raising four children and serving as a force for community service in the region.
