92nd St Live brings you Michael J. Fox, who joins longtime collaborator & co-author Nelle Fortenberry to discuss their new book, Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum. In 1985, Michael did the impossible: starring in Family Ties by day & filming Back to the Future by night.
The role of Family Ties’ Reagan-loving, tie-wearing teenager Alex P. Keaton defined a generation of TV viewers with his quick wit and conservative swagger, while Back to the Future’s Marty McFly became a cinematic archetype Told with all of Michael J. Fox’s warmth, wit and self-awareness, Future Boy is the untold story of that unprecedented time — and of the creative energy, ambition, and joy that fueled both projects.
Don’t miss this special conversation with Fox and Fortenberry as they revisit those extraordinary months and share insights and reflections on an unforgettable moment in entertainment history.
