Marilu Henner played the role of Elaine Nardo in the early 1980s sitcom, Taxi. Marilu has been diagnosed with Hyperthymesia, a condition wherein she has an abnormally hyperactive memory, mainly a highly superior biographical memory. Those with Hyperthymesia are able to recall every single detail of their daily lives, almost in perfect detail. Apparently, Marilu developed this condition around the age of 11, and can literally recall every detail of her daily life since that time. Even though Marilu is 64-year-old, she is still such an amazing dancer. She used to host her own talk show called Marilu, however, the show lasted for only 165 episodes before it was canceled. Additionally, Marilu is the author of nine books namely, Total Memory Makeover: Uncover Your Past, Take Charge of Your Future, Wear Your Life Well: Use What You Have To Get What You Want, Healthy Holidays, Healthy Kids: Help Them Eat Smart and Stay Active-For Life!, Healthy Life Kitchen, I Refuse To Raise A Brat, The 30-Day Total Health Makeover, Marilu Henner’s Total Health Makeover, and By All Means Keep Moving.
