He and<br \/>\nDillingham divorced in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We tried to make our marriage work, but we were both<br \/>\ntoo young,&#8221; Hanks, 44, once said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Hanks learned early this year that Dillingham had been<br \/>\ndiagnosed with the terminal disease after a routine<br \/>\ncheckup and may only have a few more months to live.<\/p>\n<p>Friends told Britain&#8217;s Daily Record the actor<br \/>\nimmediately arranged to have her seen by top<br \/>\nbone-cancer specialists at UCLA &#8211; and paid their fees.<\/p>\n<p>She has been seen by renowned bone specialist Dr.<br \/>\nJeffrey Bekhardt and oncologist Dr. Robert Figlin.<\/p>\n<p>But Dillingham&#8217;s doctors have now determined the<br \/>\ncancer has spread to her lungs &#8211; and possibly her<br \/>\nbrain &#8211; and all they can do now is manage her pain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tom was absolutely devastated by the news. He and<br \/>\nSusan separated a long time ago. They&#8217;ve had their ups<br \/>\nand downs like any divorced couple but they have<br \/>\nremained friends,&#8221; one Hanks pal said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oscar night is just bringing him one day closer to<br \/>\nlosing her forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dillingham acted in movies and on TV under the stage<br \/>\nname of Samantha Lewes. She once appeared with Hanks<br \/>\nin his TV series &#8220;Bosom Buddies.&#8221; Hanks has won Best<br \/>\nActor Oscars for &#8220;Forrest Gump&#8221; and &#8220;Philadelphia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Colin is one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood.<br \/>\nHe stars in the drama &#8220;Roswell&#8221; and can be seen with<br \/>\nKirsten Dunst in the flick &#8220;Get Over It.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Rozwellgirle2 for this :)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nThis morning on KROQ- it was reported that Colin&#8217;s mother is dying of cancer.<br \/>\nRalph Garmin reported that they don&#8217;t know how long she will live, just that<br \/>\nColin appears on Roswell and that our prayers are with her and her family. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Beverly and iluvm&#038;m for this.
