Michael J. Fox has a storied career in Hollywood.
The Canadian-born actor rose to stardom in the 1980s as Alex P. Keaton on “Family Ties” before blasting into the pop culture stratosphere with “Back to the Future.” But as his fame continued to mount, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 – something he kept private until publicly announcing the diagnosis in 1998.
In a recent interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” Fox acknowledged that living with Parkinson’s disease is “getting tougher,” adding that he doesn’t believe he’ll live past 80. Even so, he continued to raise his children with his wife, Tracy Pollan, and acted in beloved series like “Spin City.” He also emerged as a Parkinson’s disease advocate through his foundation.
