We remember back in the 80’s when Justine Bateman was a huge tabloid celebrity in Hollywood. Her series, Family Ties (with Michael J Fox) was on the air from 82 to 89 and the paparazzi followed her everywhere. Nobody realized then that she had a big health problem- she was anorexic and bulimic. She was also constantly in the gym doing aerobics classes until she practically passed out. Paparazzi waited outside. Her 3 years younger brother Jason Bateman was an aspiring actor then, in awe of his sister’s success. Eventually Justine had to join a 12 step program to get a grip on her eating disorders. AND she continued her education – graduating from the University of California in 2014 with a degree in computer science and digital media. These days she works in directing, writing, and producing. So it’s no surprise she turned up to support the Writers Guild strike. That’s Noah Wylie next to her in the photo.
