Hanks again climbed back to the top
with his portrayal of an unsuccessful baseball manager
in A League of Their Own (1992).
Tom admits that his acting in earlier roles was not great
and that he has improved. In an interview with Vanity Fair,
Hanks called the work that he's done since his
"modern era of moviemaking ...
because enough self-discovery has gone on....
My work has become less 'pretentiously fake."

This "modern era" welcomed in a spectacular 1993 for Hanks,
first with Sleepless in Seattle and then with Philadelphia.
The former was a blockbuster success about a widower
who finds true love (in the character of Meg Ryan) over the airwaves.
Richard Schickel of Time called his performance "charming",
and most agreed that his portrayal ensured him a place
among the premiere romantic-comedy stars of his generation,
making him bankable.
