Tom Hanks Biography - The Making of America's Dad #934789

Discover the extraordinary life of Tom Hanks...

For more than four decades, Tom Hanks has been one of the most trusted faces in American culture. From sitcom goofball to Oscar-winning actor and producer, his story follows the rise of modern Hollywood itself.
Behind the “America’s Dad” image is a childhood marked by divorce, constant moves, and deep loneliness. This book follows Hanks from those unsettled early years to his breakthrough in Big, his back-to-back Oscar wins, and his later work as a guardian of American history on screen.
You’ll see how he turned his outsider’s eye into a gift for playing ordinary people in extraordinary moments. And how, with his company Playtone, he helped redefine how film and television tell the stories of war, heroism, and national memory.
