Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox’s love story is truly inspiring. They met during Fox’s rise to fame on “Family Ties,” where Pollan played his girlfriend. Despite Fox’s subsequent transition to movie stardom with the “Back to the Future” trilogy, their relationship remained strong. They married in 1988, just before Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991.
Since then, Pollan has been by Fox’s side, providing unwavering support through the challenges of his illness. Despite the uncertainty and difficulties that come with Parkinson’s, Pollan stood firm in her commitment to their marriage and family. Their three children, Sam, Aquinnah, and Schuyler, and Esmé, have grown up witnessing their parents’ resilience and love.
Fox’s dedication to raising awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation is a testament to his determination to make a difference.
Despite his health struggles, Fox’s humor and intelligence remain intact, and he continues to inspire others with his positive outlook on life.
Their enduring love and mutual support for each other, even in the face of adversity, serve as a powerful example of what true partnership means.
