Michael J. Fox became one of the biggest stars of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

But behind\u00a0Back to the Future<\/em>,\u00a0Family Ties<\/em>\u00a0and all the Hollywood attention, there was one woman who became far more important to him than fame ever could.<\/p>\n

Tracy Pollan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They first met in 1985 when Tracy joined\u00a0Family Ties<\/em>\u00a0as Ellen Reed, the girlfriend of Fox\u2019s character, Alex P. Keaton.<\/p>\n

But their real-life romance didn\u2019t begin immediately.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until they worked together again on\u00a0Bright Lights, Big City<\/em>\u00a0that everything changed. They began dating, and within months Fox knew he wanted to marry her.<\/p>\n

On July 16, 1988, Michael and Tracy exchanged vows in a private Vermont ceremony.<\/p>\n

Then life gave those vows a meaning neither of them could have imagined.<\/p>\n

Just a few years into their marriage, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease at only 29.<\/p>\n

He later recalled telling Tracy the devastating news.<\/p>\n

Her response was simple.<\/p>\n

She reminded him of the promise they had made:\u00a0\u201cIn sickness and in health.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And she stayed.<\/p>\n

The decades that followed weren\u2019t a Hollywood fairy tale. There were frightening moments, career changes, physical challenges and four children to raise.<\/p>\n

But they kept choosing each other.<\/p>\n

Fox has said that one of the remarkable things about Tracy is that she knows the person behind the celebrity \u2014 not Alex P. Keaton, not Marty McFly, but Michael.<\/p>\n

He has also recognized something important about their marriage: Tracy has always remained her own person rather than allowing her entire identity to become about his fame or his illness.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that\u2019s part of why they lasted.<\/p>\n

There was no need to pretend their life was perfect.<\/p>\n

There was humor. Patience. Family. And, above all, partnership.<\/p>\n

Michael once joked that after 35 years of marriage, they were still simply\u00a0\u201cmaking it up as we go along.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly four decades after their wedding, they\u2019re still doing exactly that.<\/p>\n

Hollywood gave Michael J. Fox worldwide fame.<\/p>\n

But the person who remained beside him when the cameras stopped rolling may have given him something much more valuable.<\/p>\n

A partner who knew the man behind Marty McFly \u2014 and loved him anyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
