Michael J. Fox, New York's Celebrity King?
New York toys with the brand-new Davie-Brown Index, which is designed to rate a celebrity's worth as a marketing tool (think of it as an updated Q rating).

Of all our New York-based celebrities, Michael J. Fox carries the most clout amongst the masses. Of course: An aged and vulnerable Alex P. Keaton would never lie about dishsoap. But if that's how the rest of America's thinking, maybe it's time we secede from the union.
