Michael J. Fox BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Michael J. Fox has kept a high profile over the past few days with both heartfelt public appearances and media headlines reminding us why he remains such a beloved figure. On August 10th, Fox made a rare public outing to Southampton, New York, where he attended a special IMAX screening celebrating the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future, the blockbuster that made him a household name. Fans, critics, and fellow stars filled the sold-out event, and Fox joined Southampton Playhouse’s artistic director, Eric Kohn, for a post-film conversation. The exchange ranged from the evolution of his acting career and his life with Parkinson’s, to his ongoing advocacy work with the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
