Once again, thank you Michael! FROM: Publisher's Weekly, July 31,2000 "Hyperion Gets Michael J. Fox The youthful-looking actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease nine years ago, is to tell his story for Hyperion, where president Bob Miller signed him up for a reported $4 million for a book about his illness and his efforts to live with it. The auction deal, in which Hyperion beat out, among others, Riverhead and Scribner, was made with agent Amanda Urban at ICM, and calls for the actor to donate the proceeds of the book to his own Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. The book, for which world rights were bought, will be edited by v-p and publisher Martha Levin, who hopes to bring it out in October of next year."
