News about Marilu Henner

The actress, 72, spoke to BBC Woman's Hour host Nuala McGovern about having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), as well as her role in new stage play Mad Woman of the West which comes to London this month. Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, also known as hyperthymesia, is a brain condition which gives people extraordinary powers of recall. Those with HSAM can remember nearly every detail of every day of their lives. The extremely rare condition only affects around 100 people in the world, including the Chicago-born star, who said having it meant she remembered 'everything I was doing' nearly 'every day of my life'.

In the first major event affected by the actor's strike, Disney held a premiere for the forthcoming live-action film 'Haunted Mansion'. On Thursday, Hollywood was thrown into disarray as SAG-AFTRA members walked out, and as a result, the red carpet held in front of the theme park's Haunted Mansion ride was notably bereft of celebrities. Disney brought on their theme park characters to do the rounds in place of actors Danny DeVito, LaKeith Stanfield, and Rosario Dawson. Dan Levy, Hasan Minhaj, Marilu Henner, and Lindsay Lamb had intended to attend the Anaheim, California, but they did not arrive due to a strike.
