Boomer Icons We Love

Tom Hanks

Yeah, you probably saw this one coming. Who doesn’t love Tom Hanks? Born in 1956, smack dab in the heart of the Baby Boomer wave, Hanks is a magnificent actor who at the same time just feels like someone you could run into at the grocery store and have a half-hour chat with.

Between Forrest Gump, Mr. Rogers, and Toy Story — and let’s not forget Big, Cast Away, Catch Me If You Can, Philadelphia, The Green Mile, You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seatle, Splash, Saving Private Ryan, A League of Their Own, and now Elvis, it sometimes seems like Hanks has spent years carrying Hollywood on his back.

And luckily for us, he still hasn’t gotten tired of it.
