He got Parkinson's at 29 — they had 4 children anyway #MichaelJFox #love #devotion

Michael J. Fox was 24 in 1985 when Tracy Pollan joined "Family Ties" as his on-screen girlfriend Ellen Reed. He was the breakout star of the show and "Back to the Future." She was 24, a stage actress from New York. They played a couple for one season.

When she left the show, he was still with someone else. They did not see each other for two years.

They reconnected on the film "Bright Lights, Big City" in 1987.

They married on July 16, 1988, in Vermont.

Three years later, in November 1991, Michael's left pinky began to twitch on a film set. The diagnosis came within weeks. Parkinson's disease. He was 29.

He told Tracy first. She told him: "We are in this together. Period."

For seven years they kept it private. Four children were born in those years. Michael drank too much. Tracy did not leave.

In 1998 they told the world. He has spent 27 years building a foundation that has raised over 2 billion dollars for research.

She is still beside him.

Was she his wife — or the only diagnosis he could not outrun?
