  • Trivia
    In 2001, Michael J. Fox told Emmy TV legends that he bonded with Justine, because she was "amazing" and "fantastic" and "tremendously talented". He also found it interesting that he was now seeing all these teenage girls named Mallory and Justine, names he didn't think that were part of lexicon of American girls' names, until she became popular on Family Ties (1982).
  • Quotes
    They couldn't wait to get me out. My dad found my place, my mom helped me pack, and my brother was making architectural plans for my bedroom. It was just what you do at 18.
