Michael J. Fox is one of Hollywood’s most well-loved and respected actors. His career took off in the 1980s, starring in Family Ties and the Back To The Future saga. He seemed unstoppable, but a private health battle changed his life. In 1991 at age 29, he received a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and slowly began to retreat from acting. He made his health struggles public in 1998 and established The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in 2000. He and his wife, Tracey Pollan, raised four children, and he officially retired from acting in 2021. But that’s about to change. Michael J. Fox is back.
