Samantha Lewes: early life, career and nationality

Samantha Lewes was born on November 29, 1952 in San Diego, California as Susan Jane Dillingham. She belongs to an American nationality. There is not much history available about her early life and her family history, as she was not very popular with the media unless it came to her relationship with Tom Hanks. In fact, her family, education and early life are a big mystery until now.

Samantha Lewes: husband, marriage and personal life

Although people praise the ideal couple, Tom Hanks and his current wife Rita Wilson, they have long forgotten about his ex-wife Samantha. Samantha and Tom Hanks met in high school and were high school sweethearts. They dated for a while and got married quite young. Tom Hanks was only 21 years old when he married Samantha and had his first child. Tom Hanks revealed in an interview that the reason for his marriage was to fight loneliness, but that didn’t help Hanks as the marriage didn’t work out very well. His daughter Elizabeth was born in 1982.

Samantha and Tom’s marriage was quite difficult and they were not very happy with it. In fact, in 1987 they divorced and ended their marriage. Later, in 1988, Tom Hanks married his current wife Rita Wilson, but Samantha decided to stay single and take care of her children. Both of her children, Colin and Elizabeth, became actors.
