Tom Hanks (born 1956) began his theatre career as a high school student in the San Francisco Bay area. In 1984, he made his film debut as the romantic interest of a mermaid in Splash. Four years and seven films later, he earned a Golden Globe Award, and by 2000, he had won back-to-back Academy Awards for best actor.
Thomas Jeffrey Hanks was born on July 9, 1956, in Concord, California. His father, Amos, worked as a cook in a restaurant, while his mother, Janet, worked as a server. Hanks, the third of the couple’s four children and the second of three males, was five years old when his parents divorced in February 1962.
Hanks and his two older siblings moved to Reno, Nevada, with their father, leaving their little brother with their mother. They resided in a basement flat at 529 Mills Street.
By April, their father had married Winfred Finley, the Mills Street property owner. Finley was divorced and living with five of her eight children, and the Finley brood blended to become step-siblings with the Hanks kids.
The 10-person household relocated to Pleasant Hills, California, in 1964. Soon later, Amos Hanks and Finley divorced. The Hanks children were constantly shuttled between the houses of various relatives as their father established a place near his family in the San Francisco Bay area.
For a period, the three children lived in Red Bluff with their mother, who had been wedded three times by that point. After leaving Red Bluff, they visited various relatives of their father in San Mateo and Oakland.
