Rita Wilson.

This is for Playtone Pictures, not the group Playtone.

Dear duncan_idaho,

This proves to be an extremely tough question. Playtone does have a
Web domain, but no website. And a search for e-mail addresses using
the domain name led nowhere. All I was able to find out - and even
this was very difficult - is the street address of Tom Hanks' and Gary
Goetzman's company Playtone, together with a general contact phone
number. Obviously, there is not anything more out there. Surely this
is not what yoz desire, so I do not dare posting it as an answer.

Regards,
Scriptor

I too had gone down the web route, only found the address for the
accountants, not the company itself.  That turned out to be a dead
end: non helpus meus.

If you do run across any additional information, I'm leaving this open
until such time as it runs out, or some genius such as yourself pops
up with the info.

Dear duncan_idaho,

This is not Google Answers standard procedure; normally, Researchers
are not allowed to post "trial answers". However, I do not want to
make unnecessary mistakes by giving you information you already have.
So please let me know whether this address is something you already
found:

The Playtone Company
1224 5th Street
Santa Monica, CA 90401

I do also have a phone number and proof that this Playtone Co. is
indeed identical with the Hanks / Goetzman business.

In case this is of any value for you, please let me know and I will
post it as an answer.

Best regards,
Scriptor

This is a different address.  Did you try the phone number?  If so,
and it's accurate I'll accept this.

Please post it and the phone number as an answer.

Very good effort, giving me almost all the information I was seeking. 
Unfortunate that e-mail and fax were not available, but those are the
only things which kept this from being perfect.

Have you tried looking for information at the "Entertainment
Executives: site at http://www.ee411.com/

A one week membership can be had for $9.95 -- I can't promise it has
what you need, but it might be worth a shot.

No, I haven't, because I subscribe to hollywood creative directory
online, and they usually are pretty up to date.  Do you find 411 is
better, or more complete?
