Tom Hanks, the novelist

The Oscar-winning actor's experiences in Hollywood are the inspiration for his new novel, about the adventures that go into the creation of a film. Tom Hanks talks with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about "The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece," and about the lessons he learned, regarding acting and writing, from such collaborators as director Ron Howard and screenwriter Nora Ephron.

    Hanks is one of the reasons I still have faith in humanity. He’s one of the biggest names in Hollywood and is still a good-hearted human. And holy cow he looks well. He looks like his health is really peak. I hope he sticks around for a long time.

    He has certainly gone far. From selling peanuts, at Oakland A's baseball games as a teenager, to being a two time Oscar winner, to being a director/establishing Playtone Pictures, to being a novelist as well as a Mark Twain Humorist and Kennedy Center Homor award winner. I remember him in Busom Buddies and have loved so many of his movies. I wonder if, when writing his novel, he used one of his favorite typewriters to write it? The world may never know.❤❤

    I thoroughly enjoyed “Uncommon Type”, Hanks’s collection of short stories, and I’ll definitely be buying his novel as soon as I can get my hands on it. He writes nearly as well as he acts… and perhaps his latest effort will prove the writer has eclipsed the actor. I love the raw authenticity of this guy.

    I learned a lot about him from reading Ann Patchett's beautiful essay "My Precious Days," which recounts how Tom Hanks' assistant went to live with Patchett for a few months while being treated for cancer in Nashville. It's moving and at times almost fable-like and ultimately says a lot about the meaning of friendship.

    There was a missed interview question series here...Mr. Hanks is known for his passionate love of the typewriter. Did he write this novel on one, or more, of his typewriters or did he resort to his computer word processor? I am so excited about this novel because I have so many questions about what various people in the credits actually do. If you aren't in the industry, do you know what a gaffer does? I Googled it. I know I am not alone. It is difficult to appreciate people's hard work when their actual job title and credit is a mystery.

Even that film is one of my favorites, according to my mother and I. We really owe a lot of gratitude to Hanks, out of the work and roles he's done in the past, as well as his marriage to the lovely, Rita Wilson, too!

    Tom read my niece's biography on stage a handful of years ago in New York and did a little skit with her. She has kabuki syndrome and it was a big treat for the whole family. He's an all around great guy. Also, I managed actors for a spell and one day wound up on set at Paramount to support one of my actors who had booked a part in a movie. I remember wandering around by myself snapping pics, and WISH now that I had known I could have waltzed right into a closed set no problem. As long as you "act" like you belong, then you do. That is a good life lesson. xo
