Last night on 60 Minutes , Leslie Stahl interviewed the only six people known to have hyperthymesia, or “superior autobiographical memory.” These folks can recall nearly every day of their lives and remember tons of minutia from any calendar date (like the weather, expressions on people’s faces, and their own feelings), all with impossible speed. Mysteriously, one of these half-dozen savants is former Taxi / Evening Shade actress Marilu Henner. The 58-year-old has an unbelievable historical memory, and she can name the exact dates on which she bought every pair of shoes in her giant closet. On that note, what a perfect occasion to ask the affable-seeming Henner some super-specific movie-and-TV-related questions (especially since she has a book coming out about the subject in spring). Contribute your own!
