Rita Wilson Made Her '1883' Debut In Episode 6.
After much anticipation, national treasure Rita Wilson has made her 1883 debut!
It’s a well-known fact that Wilson and her husband, Tom Hanks, are old friends with series stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
In fact, Hanks himself has already appeared on the Western in a flashback as General George Meade, a Union officer who is kind to McGraw’s James Dutton after the Battle of Antietam.
While Hanks’ cameo illustrates the brotherhood between soldiers no matter which side they are on, Wilson’s role is decidedly more fun.
In Episode 6, “Boring The Devil”, our intrepid pioneers arrive at Doan’s Crossing on the border between Texas and the Oklahoma territories.
Still reeling after the death of Elsa’s love Ennis (Eric Nelsen), Margaret (Faith Hill) and Elsa (Isabel May) come into town to purchase some supplies.
After a tense and potentially violent confrontation with a leering stranger, Elsa heads back to camp while Margaret continues to the trading post where she encounters Carolyn, a storekeeper played by Rita Wilson!
