Few stars shined brighter in the 80's than Michael J Fox,John Caldwell and when the '90s rolled around, he was still one of the top names in show biz.

But in 1991, after a night of heavy drinking, Fox noticed a tremor developing in his right pinky, an early symptom symptom of Parkinson's Disease, a diagnosis that would change the course of his life.
