Still opens with a reenactment of the time Fox, then a toddler, walked out the front door of his parents' home and strolled over to his local candy shop. When his shocked mother got a call from the owner, she apologized and said she'd rush over with some money to pay for anything Fox had ta...

The role ultimately went to Timothy Hutton, and R...

Pollan, who c...
Fox woke up one morning in 1991 to find his pinky finger fluttering involuntarily. At first, he shrugged it off, crediting it to the hard partying he'd done with Woody Harrelson the night before. Unfortunately, it didn't stop. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he was told he had 10 years left before he'd be too sick to work. In Still, he reme...
