Marilu Henner, 72 is most famous for being the only woman in the 70’s show “Taxi”. Since then she has done a ton of movies including some Hallmark movies that I love. I am writing this because Marilu is famous for writing numerous diet books and for her incredible memory. I love her because she has maintained relevance for 40 plus years and she’s still trucking.
HER INCREDIBLE MEMORY
She can remember every detail of her life (good or bad) that she has lived. It’s called superior autobiographical memory which is a very rare condition. Only a hundred people have it worldwide. She has gone through extensive testing because of her memory. This is why you can never win an argument with her. LOL
PSYCHIC ABILITIES
Marilu, besides having this incredible memory, claims that she has psychic abilities. She claims that she is quick to recognize patterns, and she gets images and feelings on some things. This causes her to be able to predict when something is going to happen. She tells a story how one night she was sleeping and her husband asked her for a friends phone number. She rattled off the number. Her husband called the number and it was the person he wanted but, they asked how he got this private number that nobody had. He explained that Marilu just gave him the number. Marilu had no way of knowing this information. It’s like she tapped into the universe and it gave her the number. That is wild shit.
LONDON PLAY MAD WOMEN OF THE WEST
She spoke to DailyMail.com because she is promoting her London-based show “Madwomen of the West”. It is about friends from college friends and one of them Zoe goes to find fame and fortune and then turns into a health guru (this sounds like Marilu) and is played by Marilu. The friends all meet up at a party where secrets are revealed. Marilu says that the play is very provocative and boundary pushing because the women talk about everything including sex.
Marilu says “I had so much fun doing my play “Madwomen of the West” Now its in London , this is my first stage performance in London”.
If you’re in London go see the play it’s going to be playing from July 30 to August 24.
Interesting fact this play was born during the pandemic. When some friends including Marilu were talking about their lives and different issues that women face. And BAM the play was born written by Sandra Tsing Loh.
I think that her having this autobiographical memory is amazing . The fact that she thinks she psychic is fascinating as well.
TAXI AND FRIENDS CONNECTION
Oh, and she says there is a “Friends” connection with Taxi. That Jim Burrows who did “Taxi” also directed several episodes of “Friends” including the pilot. Tony Danza’s character is like Joey. Monica is like Elaine in “Taxi”, Phoebe’s character is like Jim which was Chris Lloyd’s character, and and Judd is like Ross. I see the connection. They have the show “Taxi” on Paramount Plus, Amazon Prime, and Pluto TV for free here. So you can see the show and make your comparisons. It being streamed has brought Marilu a slew of new fans.
FITNESS GURU AND WHY SHE WON’T EAT DAIRY
Marilu also has written several fitness and nutrition books. She says she is in constant motion. She likes to walk a lot and does some Pilates. She also has given up dairy. She says she gave up dairy in 1979 and has never looked back. The reason she takes care of her health so much is because she lost her parents when they were in their 50s. She has taken several human anatomy and nutrition classes. Curvy loves her cheese too much sorry Marilu. But, I get it.
LET’S TALK ABOUT DAIRY
Her books talk about her health journey and what makes her such a role model for people no matter what age. Like I said one of her things is to eliminate dairy because dairy is the top source of artery-clogging saturated fat in the American diet. Diets high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease, which remains America’s top killer. Yikes! I might have to rethink this.
MARILU THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR
Marilu in her fitness and nutrition books talks about how to detox your body, preventing or alleviating conditions from obesity to cancer, she shares secrets of stress reduction. She promotes eating real food and organic to fuel your body the right way. Marilu was ahead of her time. She is famous for charisma, passion, and endless energy. And according to Marilu, she does everything with “gusto”.
MORE INFO
If you want more information about her fitness and nutrition marilu.com. She has been doing this for thirty years and is a bestselling author. I’m going to look more into this. Because let’s face it at 72 she is kicking ass.
ROLE MODEL
I think Marilu is truly unstoppable and a great role model for women to pursue their passion no matter what age they are. In the last 40 years, she has maintained herself relevant. She has acted in an iconic show, has been in movies, and now a London play, she has written nutrition and fitness books. There is nothing that Marilu hasn’t done. I admire her.
HER CAREER
After a career that has spanned over 40 years, the fact that she is going strong is a testament to Marilu herself. She is a force of nature. She was introduced to the world as Elaine Nardo in “Taxi” but, in these 40 years, she has done so much. She was Roxy Hart on Broadway’s “Chicago”. She has done “Celebrity Apprentice” and even been on “Dancing with the Stars”. I love her in the Hallmark movies of the “Aurora Teagarden” Mystery franchise. Did you know she even dated John Travolta? Wow! I would love to read a memoir if she ever writes one.
Do you have a favorite show or movie that Marilu was in? Please share I want to know.
