Rita Wilson is 'Cancer Free'
After being forced to take medical leave from Broadway’s Fish in the Dark earlier this year for breast cancer treatment, Rita Wilson has good news to report. "I am cancer free. I'm one hundred percent healthy,” the actress, who is married to Tom Hanks, told People. Wilson has got a busy 2016 ahead, including a February engagement at New York’s Café Carlyle. “I want to show people that you can have cancer, and you can still be out there doing what you love to do, and it's not a death sentence like it used to be." We all here at Broadway.com wish Wilson continued good health and look forward to welcoming her back to a Big Apple stage soon!
