In 1985, Michael J Fox was a household name. He was the star of the TV series Family Ties, the Movie Teen Wolf, and the Secret Of My Success… but most of us know him (no matter what your age) from the movie Back To The Future.

Michael shares what it was like to be filming a TV series from 6 am to about 6 pm, jump in his car, and get from Paramount Theatres to Universal Studios to be ready to start filming by midnight for his role as Marty McFly from Back to the Future and filming until 2 or 4 in the morning where he would grab a couple hours of sleep and do it all again.

I am so glad I listened to this one on audio – Michael has many guests from his past- co-stars, producers… speak into the audio, sharing what that time was like. I found it fascinating to think that the fellow actors for Back to the Future would need to sync their schedules to his – meaning they were all up to the wee hours of the morning for filming.

While Michael J Fox focuses mainly on this small time period and does not go into his personal life, etc.. it was enough. Like a little sampler platter from my past, this revisit was just right.
