Wilson was born Margarita Ibrahimoff (Bulgarian: Маргарита Ибрахимов; Greek: Μαργαρίτα Ιμπραΐμοβ) in Los Angeles, California. Her mother was born and raised in an ethnic Greek village (Sotirë) in present-day Albania. Her father, born Hassan Ibrahimoff (March 21, 1920 – March 6, 2009), worked at a race track; he was a Bulgarian Muslim immigrant, born in Oraio, Xanthi, Greece, and lived in Bulgaria, where his half brother Ferhat still lives,[ before moving to the United States on May 4, 1949. Wilson's father changed his name from Hassan Ibrahimoff to Allan Wilson in 1960, "Wilson" being the name of a local street in Southern California. Wilson was raised in the Greek Orthodox religion.
Wilson's career began with a guest appearance on The Brady Bunch, in a 1972 episode entitled "Greg's Triangle," which was followed by appearances on several shows during the 1970s and 1980s (including Three's Company in 1982).
She has appeared in several movies, including Volunteers, Teen Witch, The Bonfire of the Vanities, Barbarians at the Gate, Mixed Nuts, Sleepless in Seattle, Now and Then, That Thing You Do!, Jingle All the Way, Runaway Bride, Invisible Child, The Story of Us, and Raise Your Voice. She played Susan Borman, wife of astronaut Frank Borman, in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. On television, she guest starred in many television series, including Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Good Wife and Body of Proof.
Wilson has performed on Broadway, where she performed the role of Roxie Hart from June–August 2006 in the revival of Chicago.
She is often credited with being the driving force behind Nia Vardalos' movie deal for My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which became the highest-grossing independent film of all time, and for which she served as a producer.
Wilson's debut solo album, AM/FM, will be released May 8, 2012, on Decca Records. The album will feature classics from the 60s and 70s.

Everybody Cries
Rita Wilson Lyrics
Everybody Cries
Everybody Dies
It’s the truth that makes us one
It’s the center of our sun
As we take the lonely path
On the road to the edge of man
Beneath the darkening sky
We curse and wonder why
This fear wakes up the beast
And the devil comes to feast
We sink in mortal sand
On the road to the edge of man
Who will be the last to die?
In a land where empires cry
Who will be the last to remain?
Where there’s only God and pain
There’s nothing more brave
Than those voices from the grave
Only they can tell us why
Only they will never lie
But the reason that we stand
On the road to the edge of man
Who will be the last to die?
In a land where empires cry
Who will be the last to remain?
Where there’s only God and pain
They warn us of the lie
With a mournful battle cry
Of the reckoning at hand
As we reach the edge of man
And make our final stand
There’s nowhere left to pray
Where there’s only God and pain
Where there’s only God
Everybody Dies
It’s the truth that makes us one
It’s the center of our sun
As we take the lonely path
On the road to the edge of man
Beneath the darkening sky
We curse and wonder why
This fear wakes up the beast
And the devil comes to feast
We sink in mortal sand
On the road to the edge of man
Who will be the last to die?
In a land where empires cry
Who will be the last to remain?
Where there’s only God and pain
There’s nothing more brave
Than those voices from the grave
Only they can tell us why
Only they will never lie
But the reason that we stand
On the road to the edge of man
Who will be the last to die?
In a land where empires cry
Who will be the last to remain?
Where there’s only God and pain
They warn us of the lie
With a mournful battle cry
Of the reckoning at hand
As we reach the edge of man
And make our final stand
There’s nowhere left to pray
Where there’s only God and pain
Where there’s only God
