Episode Details

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan’s love story began on the set of Family Ties, where their on-screen romance fizzled but their real-life connection blossomed into a 38-year marriage. From Fox’s Hollywood stardom to Pollan’s past with Kevin Bacon, their bond deepened through shared roles and quiet moments. When Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 29, he battled silence, depression, and addiction—until he bravely shared his truth in 1998. Tracy stood by him through every step, as they raised five kids and turned his struggle into a global movement for Parkinson’s research. Now, with his foundation raising over $3 billion, Fox calls the disease “the gift that keeps on taking”—but also the gift that gave him purpose, resilience, and a deeper love with the woman who chose him, every day, for decades.
