Marilu Henner remembers nearly every moment of her life in precise detail.
She is one of only a few people in the United States with highly superior autobiographical memory, or HSAM. It’s why she calls her cabaret show “Memory Girl” — her nickname as a kid.
The memories are “just there — the date, the time, the place, the day of the week, the experience,” Henner told KCUR’s Up To Date.
She’ll perform the show for a sold out crowd at Kansas City Actors Theatre Monday, June 8. She’s also in Kansas City this month to star in “Cactus Flower” at the New Theatre & Restaurant.
“I am having the best time. I had no idea it was going to be so fabulous,” Henner said.
Steve Kraske talked with Henner about her memory and upcoming performances.
