Episode Details

Ed Begley Jr. returns to the stage after 15 years for a deeply personal run of “Proof” at the El Portal Theatre, teaming up with his daughter Hayden for the first time — playing father and daughter — while raising funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2016, Ed shares how symptoms began earlier and how he once hid his diagnosis from the world, fearing career damage. Now, embracing his voice through the Parkinson’s Voice Project and finding renewed hope, he’s thrilled to be back — even calling this performance a potential turning point. This intimate, heartfelt production is more than theater: it’s family, advocacy, and art united for a cause that matters.
