80s Love: The Cast Of Family Ties, Then And Now

Michael J. Fox Met His Wife On The Show

Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan have been married since 1988 and have four children together. They met, as it so happens, on “Family Ties” where she played Alex’s girlfriend Ellen. She says when she first met him, he seemed full of himself. But obviously, once she got to really know him, she liked what she saw. (Even though he and Justine Bateman, who played Mallory, used to get in epic water gun fights on the set. Get the lowdown from Bateman in a few more pages.)
