Elizabeth Ann Hanks: Everything to Know about Tom Hanks’ Only Daughter
Elizabeth Ann Hanks is an actress and writer who has bylines in popular publications such as Vanity Fair Magazine, Guardian, New York Times, and Time. She has also formerly served as an Associate News Editor at the Huffington Post.
Her stint in the entertainment industry has seen the writer act in movies, too. She has appeared in films such as Forrest Gump (1994) and That Thing You Do! (1996).
But out of many who recognize Elizabeth and follow her, her profession and work have very little to contribute to her popularity. That is because she has earned more fame and recognition for being the daughter of renowned Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, even though she never asked for it.
Her recognition as a celebrity daughter and parallelly earned fame has somehow made her own works unnoticed and unappreciated.
Through this article, learn majorly about Elizabeth’s life, including her age, family details, career, net worth, and personal life.
Details about Elizabeth’s Age, Measurements, and Education
Elizabeth was born on May 17, 1982, in Los Angeles, California. Her nickname is Liz, and her birth date suggests her birth sign to be Taurus.
While growing up, she studied at The Archer School for Girls, located in Brentwood, California. She graduated from there in June 2001. Later, she enrolled at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, for higher education.
Elizabeth’s body measurements, including her height and weight, is unknown, as she or any outlet has not revealed the details so far. But her images evidently show that she is a tall woman with complementing body size.
Daughter of Tom Hanks and Samantha Lewes
Elizabeth is the daughter of actor Tom Hanks. Tom gave birth to her with his first wife, late Samantha Lewes, whom Tom had divorced in 1987.
Being the second child and only daughter of Tom, she has 3 siblings, all brothers, altogether.
Elizabeth’s blood sibling is her elder brother Colin Hanks and her other two brothers, Chester “Chet” Hanks and Truman Theodore Hanks, are her step-siblings, born from her father’s second marriage with Rita Hanks.
Her Parents’ Divorce
Elizabeth’s parents Tom and Samantha had married in 1978, and together, they gave birth to a son Colin Hanks, born in 1977, and Elizabeth.
But their marriage came to an end in 1987 after the actor built closeness with his now-wife, Rita Hanks.
And despite separating with her for another relationship [which later turned into marriage], Tom went through some hard times post-separation, especially thinking about his children.
Speaking with Graham Bensinger, he recalled that he felt bad about his relationship with his children, as he thought that his kids felt abandoned by him. “Horribly painful time,” Tom said.
“Fraught with emotion and bad feelings and you know, the failures that you go ‘I couldn’t be a worse father and I couldn’t be a worse human being.’ I remember all those feelings of as though I had cursed innocent beings with my own failings.”
Her Mother Samantha Passed Away
If the separation of her parents wasn’t enough, Elizabeth also had to experience the passing away of her mother, Samantha, when she was only 20 years old.
In 2001, Samantha was diagnosed with bone cancer and afterward went through several treatments. Her ex-husband Tom even made arrangements to ensure that she was treated by the best bone-cancer specialists at UCLA and even paid their fees.
But the doctors determined that her cancer had spread to her lungs and her brain after several efforts.
On March 12, 2002, Samantha passed away in Sacramento, California, after about a year-long battle with cancer.
Her Father Tom Married Rita Hanks
After separating from her mother, Samantha, Elizabeth’s father, Tom quickly got hitched with his lover Rita Hanks. Tom and Rita tied the knots on April 30, 1988.
Together, the couple welcomed two children: Chet Hanks in 1990 and Truman Theodore in 1995.
After her mother’s passing away, Elizabeth and her elder brother Colin were adopted by Tom and Rita.
Father Has Fond Memories of Elizabeth’s Early Days
The celebrated actor had fond memories of Elizabeth when she was growing up. Speaking with The New York Times, Tom talked about his children with his first wife and how they saw him as an ordinary guy in his early 20s.
He said that his son Colin and his daughter Elizabeth were born when he was very young—to be precise, he was 21-year-old when he became a father for the first time.
“My son [Colin] was born when I was very young. As well as my daughter,” Tom stated.
He further expressed that he always maintained a good understanding with his children [Colin and Elizabeth] because they remember him as a guy who struggled to make a living and pay rent.
We have this gestalt understanding because [Colin and Elizabeth] remember when their dad was just a guy trying to, you know, make the rent.
Tom even compared his other two children from his second wife Rita with his first two children, saying, “My other kids, they were born after I had established a beachhead in every way. And so their lives were just different.”
Elizabeth’s Career: Woman of Many Talents
To date, Elizabeth has tried her hands in many careers, including acting in movies and TV shows, writing stories for magazines, and authoring books. And somehow, she has managed to receive acknowledgment for all her works.
That being said, she has been most active as a writer and lately working on her first novel for children titled Piper Peregrine Vs. The Consortium For Better Thinking.
However, it is not disclosed when it will get published. But if we go by her social media bio, her book is to get published in 2022. Her Twitter bio reads, “Book out from S&S 2022.”
In addition, she goes by the pen name EA Hanks, also her username on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts as a writer.
Her Instagram and Twitter bio also gives an idea of her writing career and the publications she has work for. For example, her present Instagram bio briefly reads, “Bylines: Guardian, NYT, Time, etc. Book out 2022 from S&S.”
According to Heavy, her Twitter bio previously read, “Bylines: Guardian, NYT, Buzzfeed, Time. Currently at work on a book about a thing for a publisher.”
Likewise, her website bio reveals that she has had written for magazines such as The Awl, Jezebel, The New York Times, The Guardian, Vanity Fair, and Time Magazine.
A glimpse into Elizabeth’s Instagram feed will give you an idea about how obsessed she is with the books. She is indeed an avid book reader and aspires to publish her own book or novel.
As for her acting career, Elizabeth has made a few appearances in movies and TV shows, even though she never saw acting as her priority like her father and late mother.
To further pinpoint things, she acted in her father’s projects when she was a child.
According to IMDb, her first acting credit is in the 1996 movie Forrest Gump where she played a school bus girl. She denied the young Forrest to sit with him during Forrest’s first bus ride to school.
Similarly, she also played the role of “bored girl in dress shop” in the 1996 film That Thing You Do!
From the above-mentioned projects: Elizabeth’s father, Tom, won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for portraying the title character in Forrest Gump. Similarly, the actor had written and directed That Thing You Do!
Apart from that, she has acting credits in Big City Greens (2019) and City Kitties: The Article (2019).
What Is Elizabeth Hanks’ Net Worth?
With her work, Elizabeth has earned a good amount of respect, love, and admiration from people. Besides those aspects, she also added decent bucks in her purse. But that being said, the writer is yet to disclose her net worth figures.
On the contrary, her father, Tom, owns a big purse, as he is one of the world’s richest actors.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has a net worth of $400 million from his stint as an actor, director, writer, and producer.
Is Elizabeth Hanks Married to Husband?
Elizabeth isn’t vocal about her love life in public which has hindered us from knowing whether she is married to a husband, dating a boyfriend, or just living a single life.
The only time she ever talked about relationships, and her feelings was in one of her articles in The Guardian magazine in January 2015. The article was titled “It’s time to stop playing the Girl That Got Away in your ex-boyfriend’s fantasies.”
In the opinion piece, she wrote about the guys she had gone out with, along with her experiences of the notion of love and the kind of person one desires to date.
She wrote, “We have all fallen in love with the idea of a person, rather than the reality. We have the chimeric glimmers of other people’s lives we get on social media – a glance at a living room on Instagram, a reference to a movie on Facebook.”
“We patch together enough broken puzzle pieces and create the idea of a person that suits us,” she added. “These people we create are projections of our own emotion and desires, insecurities and hopes. They look like our pasts but are nothing but mangled manifestations of our present.”
She further revealed that she held a good relationship with all her ex-boyfriends, and in one instance, she even attended the wedding of her first ex-boyfriend.
The article ended with a disclosure that she was single by referring to herself as a blank canvas.
Ironmouse, the VTuber and streamer, has been streaming since 2017.
Her content mainly revolves around gaming, voice acting, singing, or simply talking about her fans. However, she has never revealed her face to anyone to date.
Nobody knows what Ironmouse looks like in real life, and the only thing known about her is that she is a Puerto Rican-American VTuber. Her appearance is that of a girl with fluffy pink hair with a heart-shaped ahoge and hairpins.
She also has white horns and light purple eyes. While there is a lore behind Ironmouse and how the character came to life, the main reason behind it is quite heartbreaking.
The streamer, who hides behind her alter ego of Ironmouse, started doing so because of her illness. Due to loneliness because of her health, the anonymous streamer created the character Ironmouse, which has helped her escape her brutal reality of illness and weak health.
What disease does Ironmouse have?
The streamer behind Ironmouse suffers from Common Variable Immune Deficiency, also known as CVID. It is unknown if Ironmouse suffers from Primary Immunodeficiency, best known as PI, but she often raises awareness of the illness.
CVID is an immunological illness characterized by recurrent infections and low antibody levels, particularly in immunoglobulin (Ig) types IgG, IgM, and IgA. According to WebMD, symptoms include a high vulnerability to external invaders, chronic pulmonary illness, and gastrointestinal inflammation and infection.
CVID affects both men and women equally. The illness can be present in children or teenagers. However, it is not usually diagnosed or recognized until adulthood.
The typical age of diagnosis ranges from age 20 to 50. Unfortunately, CVID is a chronic condition that lasts a lifetime.
Similarly, PI is the condition in which a component of the body’s immune system is lacking or malfunctions. To be classified as a PI, the immune deficiency must be inherited and not induced by secondary causes such as another disease, pharmacological therapy, or exposure to chemicals in the environment.
The majority of primary immunodeficiencies are hereditary illnesses, with the majority being identified in infants under the age of one. However, milder types may not be recognized until maturity.
Immune deficits can lead to chronic or recurring infections, auto-inflammatory illnesses, tumors, and organ dysfunction. There are currently few therapies available for these disorders, most of which are unique to a specific kind of PI.
Ironmouse also has a lung condition. She is often isolated, bedridden, and on oxygen because of her poor health.
Her health and illness have made her largely homebound, with her interacting with the world via her avatar, Ironmouse.
Is Ironmouse dying?
Ironmouse often talks about her illness with her fans and followers. Since then, they have been concerned about her health, often asking, “Is Ironmouse dying?”
Ironmouse suffers from chronic illness, something she has been dealing with before she started streaming. Even though CVID is difficult to handle, it is not life-threatening if she is taking all her medications.
If there is proper medical attention, a properly balanced diet, lifestyle modifications according to the health and illness along strong support systems like family, people with CVID can live a socio-normative lifestyle. According to Reddit, Ironmouse mentioned in 2021 that she was feeling much better than before.
She lives with her family, who takes care of her health properly. She even mentioned that she was feeling better in a long time.
She told The Washington Post in December 2022 that streaming has also saved her life. “My health started improving because let’s be honest,” she said, “money helps with getting stuff.”
So, it seems like even though her illness demands a lot of care and support from her family — both emotionally and financially — Ironmouse is doing well.
That being said, Ironmouse often raises awareness about her condition to her fans and followers. From simply talking about it to raising donations, the streamer does her best to educate her fans and followers about CVID and PI.
In a December 2022 interview with Plasma Hero, Ironmouse talked about her illness. She said, “At the time, I think I was so worried I didn’t realize how talking about it could raise awareness; I don’t make my illness the main focus of my content, but I do speak about it from time to time for education and awareness and to explain why I may not be feeling my best at times.”
Talking about her health and plasma donations, she said, “Plasma is liquid gold to me. Without it, I get very sick, but with my regular infusions, I am able to live my life to the best of my ability. Plasma has given me an opportunity to live again.”
On August 4, 2021, the streamer held a charity event on the occasion of her Twitch anniversary, where she raised over $100K for Immune Deficiency Foundation.
In 2022, her friend and fellow streamer, CDawg, raised over $300K for Immune Deficiency Foundation through a cycleathon. Similarly, in June 2023, she did a 30-day subathon, where she donated half of her subscription income to the foundation.
Ironmouse’s biography
The biography of the streamer behind Ironmouse is a mystery. As said before, the only thing we know about the streamer is their illness and that she is from Puerto Rico.
She often talks about how her family is supportive and takes care of her health. However, it is unknown how many members are there in her family.

Similarly, there is no information about her age. She began to seek a career as a streamer instead in 2017 because she was lonely and needed something to do.
She was hesitant to use her actual face online until she was inspired by Kizuna AI, the first YouTuber to refer to herself as a “virtual YouTuber,” to stream with a digital avatar to disguise her identity. She came to consider herself a VTuber after noticing an increasing number of individuals identifying themselves as such.
Her avatar typically takes the form of a horned demon with pink and purple hair. It’s backstory and is influenced by the fact that she had jokingly referred to herself as a personification of Satan.
Since then, when asked about the biography of Ironmouse, it is said that her age is 6669 and is staying on Earth pretending to be the daughter of a family she has brainwashed.
She has been active since 2017 and is a founder member of the 2020 VTuber group VShojo. She is the most-followed English language VTuber on Twitch, with over one million followers, and has the fourth all-time peak subscriptions for a Twitch broadcaster.
