Michael J. Fox's forgotten fling with Nancy McKeon sparked friendship with future Melrose Place star
Michael J. Fox has long been pals with Doug Savant, as they met via The Facts of Life star Nancy McKeon, who Fox dated in the mid-1980s. Savant, 61, chat about his longtime friendship with Fox, 64, to People at Lifetime's Summer Soirée event, held at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel July 16. Savant spoke with the outlet in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the August 1985 release of the comedy Teen Wolf. Savant - who would find fame playing Matt Fielding on the nighttime soap Melrose Place in the 1990s - appeared in the film as a rookie actor opposite Fox. Fox was one of the biggest stars of the 1980s with his roles as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties and time traveling teen Marty McFly in the Back To The Future franchise. In the movie, Savant portrayed of Brad, a classmate and basketball teammate of Fox's lead character, Scott Howard, a teenage high school student who had the ability to transform into a wolf. Savant expounded to the outlet about his connection to Fox through McKeon - and how it tied into his Southern California roots. 'I grew up in Burbank, California, and I went to school with Philip McKeon and Nancy McKeon – Nancy McKeon from Facts of Life and Phil McKeon from Alice,' Savant said. 'And we were dear friends.' Savant said that he didn't tell Fox about his connection with McKeon, 59, specifically in an effort not to bother the star. 'I just wanted to do my job and be professional, but I had not said anything, said Savant, who also is known for playing Tom Scavo on the hit ABC series Desperate Housewives. Savant said that a week into production, Fox figured out the connection and confronted him about it. 'He went home and Nancy asked, "Who's in the movie with you? Let me see the call sheet." And she said, "Doug Savant? We were family friends."' Savant added, 'One day, Michael comes to work, he says, "Why didn't you tell me that?" He was upset with me that I had not told him.' After that, a fast friendship formed, according to Savant, who said that he 'had a great time' working with the beloved actor on Teen Wolf. Savant said that he looks back with nostalgia on his work on the motion picture: 'I have such great memories from that film.' He added of the movie's longevity: ' The movie has had a stunning lifetime, and people love it. 'They made sequels, and it resonated. So I'm just grateful to have been a small part of it. Savant said the movie was on TV while he was working on a new project and jarred his nostalgia. He recalled: 'The craft service person would play movies, and he puts on Teen Wolf. And there I was doing my job on a new show, but watching Teen Wolf in the craft service trailer.' Fox in 1985 met actress Tracy Pollan, who worked with him on Family Ties, but 'their relationship remained platonic, however, as they were both dating other people at the time,' People reported. They commenced dating after working together again on the 1988 movie Bright Lights, Big City, and married that same year. Fox and Pollan are parents to four adult children: son Sam Michael, 36, twin daughters Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, 30, and daughter Esmé Annabelle, 23. The Back To The Future star was 29 in 1991 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and went public with the information in 1998. He has spent the years since working tirelessly on charitable efforts toward funding research with a cure in mind.

Pete Davidson and pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt seen for first time since bombshell baby news on red carpet
Pete Davidson and pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt made their first public appearance together since their bombshell baby news at the star-studded premiere of The Pickup in LA on Sunday. The 31-year-old SNL alumnus — who took on a role in the upcoming heist action comedy — notably announced that both he and the English model are expecting their first child together earlier this month amid their whirlwind romance. The parents-to-be joined other celebrities at the event which was held at Regal LA Live, including Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy. Elsie proudly showcased her growing bump in a sleeveless, figure-hugging black dress and slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black heels. Her long locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. A warm blush was added to her cheekbones while a nude-colored glossy tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. Pete kept it casual in a brown-colored tracksuit and completed the outfit with a pair of comfy sneakers as well as a flashy watch on his lift wrist. The comedian cozied up to his girlfriend as they stepped onto the red carpet and at one point, the pair also shared a loving kiss for the cameras. Elsie also paused to take a few solo pictures as she flaunted her growing baby bump, just one week after the pregnancy news came to light. The couple also struck fun poses as they took more snaps near a portion of the red carpet that was decorated with props to fit the premise of the movie. The model could be seen holding fake money in her hand as Pete stood close behind her in front of a large pickup van. Pete took on the role of Travis in the upcoming comedic film, which also stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria and Andrew Dice Clay. The premise is: 'A routine cash pickup turns into a deadly pursuit when two mismatched armored truck drivers are ambushed by ruthless criminals with plans beyond the cash,' per IMDB. The project is set to be released on Amazon Prime Video later next month on August 6.

And while it has been claimed that the pregnancy was something the couple 'weren't planning' - the SNL alum and English model are beyond 'excited' to become parents. The comedian - who has previously been linked to high profile celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande - first sparked romance rumors with Hewitt only months earlier ago in March. A source opened up to Us Weekly about their baby news and stated, 'Pete and Elsie definitely weren't planning on starting a family but are over the moon about it. 'They are so excited. Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.' Despite dating for a 'short amount of time,' the pregnancy 'has brought them even closer. It's a healthy relationship for Pete.' The insider explained that fatherhood was something he always wanted for his future and that 'the timing in his life is perfect.' 'He couldn't have done it a few years ago but is in a very different place in life now,' the source further said of Pete - who notably got sober last year. The actor also finally broke his silence over the pregnancy news while talking to E! News on Tuesday. 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' Pete expressed to the outlet, and added that he could not wait, 'to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.' He continued, 'I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it.' Since the big announcement, the star has already received a lot of advice from pals - including fellow actor Adam Sandler. The actor has talked about his dreams of being a dad in the past - such as when he made an appearance on Kevin Hart's show Hart To Heart back in 2022. '[I'm] definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I've yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. That's like my dream,' Pete expressed at the time. He said that being a father would 'just be so fun' and added he is 'so excited for that chapter, so like that's kinda just what I'm preparing for now. 'Just trying to be like, as good of a dude, and develop and get better so that when that happens it's just easier.' The former Nickelodeon actress wowed in a one-shoulder gray dress that fell down towards the ground and contained beaded details on the semi-sheer material Pete and Elsie are set to welcome their baby this winter and are said to be 'thrilled' to become parents, family sources told TMZ. The comedian has mostly kept his relationship with the model out of the spotlight since going public in March 2025. Other celebrities that were in attendance at The Pickup premiere in LA over the weekend included Keke Palmer. The former Nickelodeon actress wowed in a one-shoulder gray dress that fell down towards the ground and contained beaded details on the semi-sheer material. Her voluminous locks were pulled back away from her face and cascaded down her back in elegant curls. Keke completed the glamorous look by adding a pair of flashy silver earrings as well as a dainty necklace and bracelet on her left wrist. Eddie Murphy was dapper in a black, double-breasted suit which was paired with a plain shirt underneath. The Haunted Mansion actor additionally wore a pair of black shoes and sported stylish black shades on the red carpet. He was accompanied by wife Paige Butcher — whom he tied the knot with in 2024 — who donned a fitted black dress with a plunging neckline on the front. During the festivities, Pete was seen crossing paths with both Keke and Eddie and the trio paused for a memorable snap together.
