Final answer:
The statement "His 1990 film Bonfire of the Vanities was one of the biggest bombs of the year, but audiences seemed to forgive his lapse. In 1992, Hanks' star again rose when he played the outwardly disgusting, inwardly warm-hearted coach in Penny Marshall's A League of Their Own. This led to a starring role in the smash hit romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle (1993)" is True. Option 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about a statement regarding Tom Hanks' career in the film industry. The statement provides information about two of his films, 'Bonfire of the Vanities' and 'Sleepless in Seattle'. The task is to determine whether the statement is true or false.
