Michael J. Fox Rocks the Waldorf Astoria!
Meanwhile, across the continent, other celebs were gathered to support actor Michael J. Fox and his 2011 A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's – Show held last night at the Waldorf Astoria Ballroom in New York City.
The event was hosted by The Daily Show’s John Oliver and featured Ricky Gervais as well as performances by Kid Cudi, comedian Mike Birbiglia, and the man of the hour Michael J. Fox with Joan Jett. Gervais tweeted this about watching Fox perform: “watching Michael J Fox perform Johnny B Goode was a spine chilling magic f*cking moment.” I can only imagine that is was, for so many reasons. Fox and Jett performed Springsteen's “Light of Day” from their 1987 movie of the same name. Anyone else see it? I thought Joan was pretty good.
Fox and his gorgeous wife of 23 years(!), Tracy Pollan, brought their four children, including son Sam. Also in attendance was twenty four year old athlete Sam Fox (no relation to Michael – "Sam Fox meet Sam Fox") whose mother Lucy has Parkinson’s and in whose honor he just completed the 2396.5 mile Pacific Crest Trail in a fundraising effort called “Run While You Can” with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research.
