Mini bio
How it started.
Rita grew up in Los Angeles and began her screen career on The Brady Bunch in 1972. Film roles including Sleepless in Seattle made her a familiar face, while producing My Big Fat Greek Wedding brought another part of her creative life into view.
Finding her own songs.
Music became a new chapter in her fifties. She credits encouragement from Nora Ephron with helping her pursue it. AM/FM, her 2012 debut, revisited songs she loved from the 1960s and 1970s. Her 2016 self-titled album put her own songwriting at the center.
The music now.
Now & Forever: Duets turned 1970s love songs into conversations with guests including Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson and Keith Urban. For Sound of a Woman, she worked with Dave Cobb at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, writing much of the album with Amy Wadge and exploring motherhood, friendship, marriage and self-image.
