Michael J. Fox Reacts After CNN Mistakenly Posts Memorial To Actor
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- CNN mistakenly published and then removed a remembrance article declaring actor Michael J. Fox dead, issuing an apology to Fox and his family.
- Fox responded humorously on social media, confirming he is alive and well despite the erroneous report.
- The actor, known for his advocacy in Parkinson’s research following his diagnosis in the 1990s, recently appeared at PaleyFest for the Apple TV series Shrinking.
- Premature obituaries are a known media error, with similar incidents occurring previously, such as the 1998 partial obituary of Bob Hope by the Associated Press.
