8. Meeting
They met on the set of Family Ties. She played his character’s girlfriend, but in real life she already had a boyfriend. A couple of years later, they met again on the set of Bright Lights, Big City, and that’s when they began dating. The next spring I was casting a movie in New York, and I saw Tracy, who had come in to read for a part. I said, ‘How’s so-and-so?’ She said, ‘We’re not together anymore.’ ‘I was like, (a) You have the job and (b) let’s have lunch.’ By the time the movie was finished, we were on vacation together – and less than a year later we were married,” Fox told Oprah.
