Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan: Schuyler Frances Fox’s Parents.

The couple got married on 16 February 1988 in West Mountain Inn in Arlington Vermont. The family lives in Manhattan and they have a second home in Quogue, New York. Michael and his wife have been together for over 30 years and are still together.
Michael J. Fox explained in his autobiography Lucky Man: A Memoir and in interviews, he needed to come up with a different name. He did not like the sound of “Michael A. Fox” during a time when “fox” meant “attractive” and because his “A” sounded too much like the Canadian “eh?” Fox also did not like the sound of “Andrew” or “Andy”, so he decided to use a different middle initial and settled on “J”, as a tribute to actor Michael J. Pollard.
While filming the movie Doc Hollywood, in 1991, Schuyler Frances Fox’s father showed symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and he was diagnosed shortly after. He became an advocate for finding a cure and he founded the Michael J. Foundation in 2000 to help fund research.
In October 2022, the retired actor reflected on watching his kids grow up as he continues to push through his health battle.
“My youngest [children] never knew me without Parkinson’s,” he told People. “Sam was 2 or 3 when I was diagnosed. So, they never knew anything else. And there’s a certain latitude you have to give someone who has Parkinson’s. You can choose how nice to be and how much to do — and how much to know not to do. That’s all about empathy.”
The actor in his 60s doesn’t think he might not live up to 80. “All these subtle ways that get you, you don’t die from Parkinson’s, you die with (the condition). I’m not going to be 80. I won’t be 80.” The Guardian reported: “I recognise how hard this is for people and recognise how hard it is for me but I have a certain set of skills that allow me to deal with this stuff and I realise, with gratitude, optimism is sustainable. If you can find something to be grateful for then you find something to look forward to and you carry on.”
