Get to know all your favorites (and perhaps a few faces you’re not as familiar with) before they were stars. By Nina Hämmerling Smith

Michael J. Fox in 11th Grade at Burnaby Central High School in British Columbia in 1978 and Michael J. Fox in 2012
It’s hard to find a more likable—or liked—figure in Hollywood than Michael J. Fox. Which is why it’s especially hilarious when he plays himself as an ornery guy using his Parkinson’s as an excuse to exasperate Larry in Curb Your Enthusiasm—for which he’s nominated as Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. The star of Family Ties (where he met Tracy Pollan, to whom he’s been married since 1988), Spin City, and the Back to the Future movies has been publicly battling Parkinson’s disease for more than 20 years—and working to find a cure through his Michael J. Fox Foundation.
