Rita Wilson talks about her new album, Walk of Fame star on GDLA
Between getting her star on the Walk of Fame and releasing her fourth album, Halfway To Home, singer-songwriter Rita Wilson is having a really good year!
Wilson says she views songwriting as a powerful outlet.
“Songwriting has been the most pure expression of who I am,” she says. “I love everything I do, but it’s the most intimate act you can have creatively. As an actor, you put on a character; as a producer, you have to let things out of your hands. But as a songwriter, there’s nowhere to hide.”
Prior to her music career, the artist appeared in several films including "Sleepless in Seattle," "Runaway Bride," and "It's Complicated." Wilson has also performed on Broadway, and has produced several films, including "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
Wilson was recently honored by The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
After her performances, we met up with Wilson for a backstage interview, check it out here:
