Happy 74th Birthday to one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood – Marilu Henner!
I first saw her in the TV show, Taxi. I was so taken by her smile. She was simply beautiful.
In 1984, she costarred with Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo in the hilarious Johnny Dangerously.
She was sexy. She was sultry. She was perfect in the role of Lil Sheridan.
One of the coolest things about her is that she possesses what they call Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), or hyperthymesia, a rare condition allowing her to recall specific details of almost every day of her life since childhood. She can instantly recall events, dates, weather, and personal details, often describing her memory as a “file cabinet” or “scene selection” of her life. I can imagine that there are cool things about that, but at the same time, there has to be some sadness involved.
The theme song for the movie, Johnny Dangerously, was done by Weird Al Yankovic. The song was written for the film, yet, for legal reasons, the song was not featured on home video releases of the film until the DVD was released in 2002.
Happy Birthday, Marilu!!

I always really liked her and later learned about her special memory abilities as well –
