Michael J. Fox on Staying Positive After His Mother’s Death: ‘She’d Never Add Up the Losses’

Over his three decades battling Parkinson’s disease, Michael J. Fox has notoriously harnessed the power of positivity. It’s an instinct that he can trace back to his mother Phyllis, who died in September at the age of 92.
