Marilu Henner
It's a good bet that you remember Marilu Henner as Elaine O'Connor-Nardo on the hit comedy "Taxi." It's an even better bet that if you ever met Marilu she would remember you, the day, and what you were wearing. Marilu is one of a handful of people with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), a condition that allows her to remember almost every detail from everyday of her life. Today Marilu is on Home & Family flexing her extraordinary memory skills as she recalls her first time meeting Mark and Cristina. Plus, Marilu teaches us some memory enhancing tips from her book "Total Memory Makeover" and shares a clip from her new Hallmark Channel Original Movie, "Hitched for the Holidays."
