Tom
Hanks‘
only
daughter
is
sharing
rare
insight
into
her
childhood.
E.A.
Hanks
(short
for
Elizabeth
Anne
Hanks)
accused
her
late
mother—the
Oscar
winner’s
ex-wife
Susan
Dillingham, who
went
by
the
stage
name
Samantha
Lewes—of
abuse
following
the
couple’s
divorce
in
the
‘80s.
According
to
the
42-year-old,
the
mistreatment
allegedly
started
after
Susan
obtained
primary
custody
of
her
and
brother
Colin
Hanks,
now
47,
and
abruptly
moved
them
from
Los
Angeles
to
Sacramento,
Calif. She
said
the
relocation
caught
Tom
by
surprise.
“My
dad
came
to
pick
us
up
from
school
and
we’re
not
there,”
E.A.
wrote
in
an
excerpt
from
her
book
The
10:
A
Memoir
of
Family
and
the
Open
Road,
published
by People. “And
it
turns
out
we
haven’t
been
there
for
two
weeks
and
he
has
to
track
us
down.”
“Eventually
a
divorce
agreement
was
settled,
and
I
would
visit
my
dad
and
stepmother
(and
soon
enough
my
younger
half
brothers)
on
the
weekends
and
during
summers,”
she
continued,
referring
to
Tom’s
wife Rita
Wilson
and
their
sons Chet
Hanks,
34,
and Truman
Hanks,
29, “but
from
5
to
14,
years
filled
with
confusion,
violence,
deprivation,
and
love,
I
was
a
Sacramento
girl.”
