Marilu Henner Featured on 60 Minutes for Rare Autobiographical Memory
Marilu Henner
Marilu Henner was featured on 60 Minutes because it's a day she'll never forget — just like every other day.
The Taxi actress, 58, appeared on Sunday's program since she's one of the handful of people discovered to have "superior autobiographical memory" after rigorous testing. She can remember almost every day of her life as vividly and accurately as if it was yesterday.
"It's like putting in a DVD and it queues up to a certain place," Henner says during her interview. "I'm there again, so I'm looking out from my eyes and seeing things visually as I would have that day."
Watch as Henner is able recall what she ate years ago and list of the dates she wore the shoes in her closets — including the day of the week. (Henner's part begins at the six-minute mark):
