Parkinson’s Takes Center Stage in Michael J. Fox’s New Show

Wednesday, 25 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Michael J. Fox returns to television this week, more than a dozen years after leaving Spin City. Instead of hiding his symptoms, on “The Michael J. Fox show,” he plays a TV anchor who suffers from Parkinson’s. USA Today credits Fox with helping to change our understanding of Parkinson’s in the 15 years since he announced his diagnosis. Researchers are closer to a cure though they acknowledge it will be more difficult to achieve than they first thought.
