Despite his public persona as a beloved figure, Tom Hanks endured serious family issues, particularly highlighted in his daughter E.A. Hanks' memoir. The book reveals a tough custody arrangement with his first wife, Susan Dillingham, who subjected their children to neglect and violence. Notably, Dillingham once vanished with E.A. and his son Colin, prompting a frantic search by Hanks. These struggles starkly contrast the image of Hanks as a quintessential loving father and challenge assumptions about his private life.
At one point, Dillingham suddenly disappeared with Hanks' children—a nightmare for any divorced parent, according to an excerpt from the book.
She took E.A. and Colin away from Los Angeles without notifying Hanks, leaving him to frantically try and track them down.
