About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Marilu Henner, is a highly acclaimed and popular actress, producer and best selling author who is perhaps best remembered for her portrayal of “Elaine Nardo” in the hit TV show “Taxi”, for which she received 5 Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
She also played Burt Reynolds’ wife “Ava Newton” on “Evening Shade”, and she was “Aida” in over a dozen Aurora Teagarden Mystery movies. But her body of work extends far beyond those memorable roles. She’s appeared in numerous shows on Broadway, including the original cast of “Grease”, as well as “Over Here”, “Pal Joey”, “Chicago” and “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife”. And she starred in many national touring productions including “Annie Get Your Gun”.
Her feature film credits include “Bloodbrothers”, “Hammett”, “The Man Who Loved Women”, “Johnny Dangerously”, “Chains of Gold”, “Imperfections”, “Life With Dog”, “The Mimic” and “L.A. Story”, for which she was nominated for an American Comedy Award for Funniest Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.
On TV, she’s appeared in a whole slew of movies and miniseries including “Dream House”, “Love with a Perfect Stranger”, “Grand Larceny”, “Ladykillers”, “My Son is Innocent”, “Titanic”, “The Governor’s Wife”, “Good Behaviour”, “A Kismet Christmas” and many more. And she’s guest starred in dozens of great TV series including “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, “The Tracy Ullman Show”, “Cybill”, “Providence”, “ER”, “Grey’s Anatomy” and many more. And she co-starred in an episode of Great Performances called “Grown-Ups”, for which she was nominated for a Cable Ace Award for Best Actress.
Our guest is also a New York Times bestselling author of TEN wonderful books. My favourites are: “By All Means Keep On Moving”, “Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover”, “I Refuse To Raise A Brat”, “Party Hearty: Hot, Sexy, Have-a-Blast Food & Fun All Year Round”, “Total Memory Makeover: Uncover Your Past, Take Charge of Your Future”, and her most recent book which I believe EVERYONE needs to read, “Changing Normal: How I Helped My Husband Beat Cancer”, which is an absolute revelation.

Terrific interview. Marilu Henner is a firecracker -- I was amazed (but not really surprised) that you were able to keep up with her! The interview flowed beautifully from one fascinating theme to the next. Well done, Sir!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thanks so much. She was definitely a handful but after having spent 40 years in a courtroom, I was up to the challenge 😜

[@amphotos]

Harvey, this interview with Marilu Henner is so good! I've had the pleasure of meeting her several times and she is always the same outgoing and happy person, just like she is on your show. I learned a lot about her life! You always know the right questions and tone!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thanks so much! She’s off the charts brilliant!

[@carlv1379]

Yes. He is probably the very best interviewer, unless the goal is sensationalism; then maybe Barbara Walters.

[@kevinbarry3548]

I love your channel and that you spotlight memorable and important artists and their journey that modern/mainstream entertainment has forgotten. Not us!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

That’s such a lovely thing for you to say. Thank you so much

[@oceandreamer1958]

Thank you, Harvey! I love Marylu! It was another great interview!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Harvey and Marilu! 🤩 I'm glad you brought up her remarkable memory. Many years ago she was on LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN. They discussed it, too... and he threw out a random date. She blushed and said, "who told you?" And he maintained that it was out of his head. She went on the explain that was the day she lost her virginity. 💥 It's always a joy to see her, both working and speaking about her work and herself.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Yes her perfect memory truly is remarkable, and it plays a hugely important role in her life.

[@yourgreymatterspod]

This is an amazing episode, insightful, and beautifully delivered podcast. Congratulations Harvey. Well done as usual.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

That’s very kind of you. Thank you so much

[@Tidyisland]

Lots of exciting stories from Marilu that I hadn't heard before. Thanks for creating this video.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thanks for watching

[@deborahsobel3314]

Loads of fun and so smart. Harvey, you always get the details right!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I try my best to do just that. Thank you so much for really “getting” what I do!

[@LiberaceProtege]

Really wonderful interview!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much

[@carlv1379]

So beautiful and smart and accomplished and humble. How?

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

It seems to come easily to her. I should be so lucky!

[@MsBackstager]

This energetic interview and exchange just popped thru my PC screen. TY as always.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I’m so glad the interview popped up

[@davewoodman8326]

Another glimpse at greatness! I raced in to hear this the day of release. Always enamored with her charms, I'm relieved she can't see in to my life. An amazing human being, perhaps I'll see her around LA some day. Thank you for this beautiful interview as I'll only say "hello" to her if I can easily see it's a good idea at the time. Good to feel I know her a bit better. 💝

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I’m sure she would be delighted to say hello to you if she has that opportunity. I certainly would love to meet you in person.

[@davewoodman8326]

@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 It's going to depend on if I have anything to offer her. If a simple "hello" relays love, without interrupting.

[@PhilippinesFarmLife]

Thank you Sir. Watching from the Philippines

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much for watching our show. Best wishes to all my friends in the Philippines!!

[@darylweinbrandt62]

MOST interesting/knowledgeable & well-spoken woman she is !

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Yes she sure is

[@debstanton4308]

Absolutely wonderful work!!! by both you and Marilu

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much

[@famasmaster2000]

Proud to say, I was the 1st thumbs up. You both had me feeling so happy with this interview. Harvey, you knocked this way out of the park! I loved her in taxi and she brought back so many memories 😍 What an experience 👏

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I am SO IMMENSELY GRATEFUL to have you as a loyal and supportive viewer. Thank you so much

[@famasmaster2000]

@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 I am very proud of you as well for your accomplishments. Give yourself a pat on the back as it is very deserved. I think of you now anytime I'm working out and have my favorite playlist on and the inspirational Guns and Roses comes on with "Mr Brownstone" , I now have a new reason to enjoy the song even more, awesome inspiration knowing that a new interview isn't far off 👍🏼👏💪

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

@famasmaster2000 you are such a blessing in my life. Thank you so very much

[@besttwoweeks-mh9ds]

Great interview! Please add chapters!

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thanks so much! Will do.

[@terrishimmel9258]

Such a great interview Harvey. She is a ball of energy isn't she? Question for you since you said in the interview that you are a talk show junkie. Is there any opportunity to interview Merv Griffen's son or someone to talk about Merv I loved his show as a kid.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I adored Merv Griffin. I would love to interview his son but can’t find a way to reach him.

[@R-anne7375]

I would love to know what Marilu Henner does for menopause . She's great !

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

She suffered through it like everybody else

[@R-anne7375]

@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 I wondered if she used HRT ? I like her eating style, and wondered if she chose the natural route or HRT? But thank you !

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

22:56 concerning Bob Wagner s male charisma, I have a better wordage : INNER (=not internalized ! ) CLASS ; in other words : natural (=unforced) style .

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Totally true. Very well put. Thank you

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

SHE WAS VERY SULTRY in Wenders' "HAMMETT" (1983) - a masterful postnoir under the supervision of FFC, who acc to rumors, reshot some scenes Wenders could not cajole right. Could she confirm or deny this, and plz which scenes and why ? Thank u. Still looks erstklassiger ... PS. Myself wrote a looong essay on the film & got it published in the land of snow and night and now an external, threatening old renewed enemy all the fabled politically noirish elements that can carry has ... Fred Forrest s best film. Oikein sydämellisiä terveisiä Suomesta ! = Saludos cordiales desde Finlandia to her ! 🇫🇮

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thanks so much for your fascinating insights

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

What? Her work output has been prodigious!!!
