Rita Wilson Wiki, Biography
Rita Wilson was born Margarita Ibrahimoff in Los Angeles[5] where she grew up.[4] Her mother, Dorothea Tzigkou (Greek: Δωροθέα Τζίγκου), was Greek, raised in Sotirë near Dropull i Sipërm in Albania, close to the border with Greece.[6] Her father, Hassan Halilov Ibrahimoff (Bulgarian: Хасан Халилов Ибрахимов; 1920–2009), was a Bulgarian Muslim (Pomak) born in Oraio (Breshtene), Greece, close to the border with Bulgaria. Her father’s family moved to Bulgaria when he was a child. He moved from Bulgaria to the US in 1949.[7][8] He converted from Islam to Orthodox Christianity upon his marriage and changed his name to Allan Wilson in 1960,[8] choosing his name after a local street. Wilson was raised in the Greek Orthodox faith.[9] In addition to Bulgarian, her father could speak “Russian, Turkish, Polish, Greek, a little bit of Italian, a little bit of French” according to Wilson’s husband Tom Hanks, who said he modeled his portrayal of the character Viktor Navorski in the film The Terminal on his father-in-law.
Personal life
Wilson married actor Tom Hanks in 1988. Hanks already had two children, Colin and Elizabeth Hanks, and Wilson became their stepmother. She has two sons of her own with Hanks, Chet and Truman.[63] Wilson has three grandchildren.
She is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Activism
In 2015, Wilson signed an open letter on which the ONE Campaign had been collecting signatures. The letter was addressed to Angela Merkel and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, urging them to focus on women as they serve as the head of the G7 in Germany and the AU in South Africa respectively. The G7 and AU were expected to set the priorities in development funding before a main UN summit in September 2015 that was to establish new development goals for the generation.
