Elizabeth Ann Hanks was born on the 17th May 1982 in Los Angeles, California USA, and is an actress who has had a few support roles in her short career, and a writer, but is perhaps best known to the world as the only daughter and second child of the famous actors Tom Hanks and Samantha Lewes.

Colin Hanks and Half-Siblings
Elizabeth’s older brother is Colin Hanks, a respected actor, known to the wider public for such roles as Preston in the Academy Award-winning action-adventure film “King Kong” (2005), then as Griffin Dowd in the horror mystery “Untraceable” (2008), and as Greg in the TV comedy series “Life in Pieces” (2015-2018), among many other roles that made him quite successful and rich as well. Elizabeth also has two younger half-siblings, Chester Marlon “Chet” Hanks, born on the 4th August 1990, and Truman Theodore Hanks, born on the 26th December 1995. Chet has followed his father into the entertainment industry, making notable appearances in the TV drama series “Empire” (2018), and the action-fantasy film “Fantastic Four” (2015), while Truman is like his half-sister, generally far away from the spotlight.
Career Beginnings
Elizabeth made her acting debut when she was 12 years old, with a minor role in “Forrest Gump”, the Academy-Award winning drama film in which her father had the lead role. Two years later she also made an appearance in her father’s film “The Things You Do!”, co-starring Charlize Theron and Liv Tyler. However, after that she dedicated herself towards school in entirety and forewent her acting career. She had set her mind to other interests.

When it comes to her personal life, Elizabeth has been avoiding media attention, making an effort to keep her most intimate details under a veil of secrecy. However, the media most recently discovered that Elizabeth is married, but further info has not yet been made available to the public.
How Rich Talented Writer and Journalist, Elizabeth Hanks Is?
Elizabeth has earned a name for herself in a completely different branch of industry and has stayed out of focus for the better part of her life, despite all the glitz and glamour that surrounds Hanks family. Unfortunately, her avoidance of the media has led to the obscurity of a number of details in regards to her life. However, authoritative sources estimate that the amount of Elizabeth Hanks’ net worth is over $3 million; not insignificant, but a long way behind daddy! Tom Hanks, has a net worth estimated at over $350 million, while her brother Colin Hanks has wealth worth over $15 million.
Is Elizabeth Hanks on Social Media?
Although a rather popular person, Elizabeth, leads a life of privacy as she hasn’t been quite sharing with her fans when it comes to her life and career as well. As a result, she doesn’t have an account on any of the popular social media networks, which is quite unfortunate for her most loyal fans.
