Despite Spin City’s incredible success and a showering of Emmy and Golden Globe awards, Fox announced in early 2000 that he would leave the show, which he also executive produced, to spend time with his family, and to concentrate on raising money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease--including the May 2000 launch of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Fox won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his final season on Spin City, along with the respect and support of the entire Hollywood community. He will reportedly continue to take on occasional producing, directing, and acting projects in the future. Fox married the actress Tracy Pollan (who played Ellen, Alex Keaton’s girlfriend, on Family Ties) in 1988. The couple has a son, Sam, and twin daughters, Aquinnah and Schuyler.
