- She announced in April 2015 that she had been diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma (a type of breast cancer) and had since undergone a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
- Attended Hollywood High School in California and later studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in England.
- Made her Broadway debut as a Roxie Hart replacement in "Chicago".
- Her father chose to change their last name to Wilson, because that was the name of the street they lived on.
- She is widely credited with landing Nia Vardalos a movie deal for My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) (now the top money making independent film of all time, surpassing the $200 million mark), after seeing Vardalos perform her autobiographical one-woman show. She got her husband (Tom Hanks) to set up the film at his company, Playtone, which shopped it around to financiers and distributors on the strength of the Hanks-Wilson seal of approval. (Side note: Rita and Tom had a "Big Fat Greek Wedding" of their own in 1988).
