    Michael J. Fox (Profile)

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on April 29, 2002. Partner content is not updated. He was a blur. That's how I remember Michael J. FOX the first time we talked. It was 1987. I'd come to Los Angeles to interview him for a Maclean's cover story, and we met at a Family Ties rehearsal at Paramount.

    Mike Myers (Profile)

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on June 14, 1999. Partner content is not updated. Now all we need are rumours that Bill Clinton goes around the White House saying, "Yeah baby! Oh, behave! Shag-a-delic!" Not since ... well, not since Myers hatched Wayne's World in 1992 has a movie latched itself onto the zeitgeist with such a profusion of Velcro-like catch phrases.
