Early life and Family

Elizabeth was born into a family rooted in the entertainment business. While her father is a household name and widely recognized across the globe, Elizabeth’s mother, Samantha Lewis, was also an actress, perhaps best recognized for her roles in the movies “Mr. Success” and “Bosom Buddies”.

Her parents were high school sweethearts, married in a private ceremony in 1978, but divorced in 1987, so Elizabeth spent most of her childhood bouncing between her mother’s and father’s place.

Unfortunately, her mother died on 12 March 2002 due to bone cancer, after battling the nasty disease for a couple years.

Elizabeth was raised alongside her five-years-older brother, Colin Hanks, who followed in his father’s footsteps and launched a successful acting career, best known for the roles in popular movies such as “Orange County”, “King Kong”, and “The Great Buck Howard”. Elizabeth also has two step-brothers, Chet and Truman Hanks, from her father’s marriage to the actress Rita Wilson.
