Topic: Marylu Henner on *The View* turned 60 today..has total recall.

Those who remember Marylu..(from Taxi)..on "The View" this morning talking about how she can remember EVERYTHING. I find this fascinating..Elizabeth gave her a date from  her past and it was like a video tape playing back in her head..all spilling out what she did..what she wore..who she had dinner with and it was also the date Frank Sinatra died..she was talking so fast..she was almost hyperventilating.

She also said 12 people in the world has "Total Recall"..just like on the tv show: "Unforgetable"..but in her case..she can really do this..not forget ANYTHING.

Today she's 60 years old! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I agree, it's a fascinating phenomenon.  I saw her on 60 Minutes and it was amazing. 

Lesley Stahl (60 Minutes correspondent) is a close friend of Marilou Henner and was doing a report on people known to have that ability.  The more she researched it, the more it reminded her of Marilou and her incredible memory.  So she arranged for Marilou to be tested and -- voila -- she turned out to have it!  The researchers couldn't believe the coincidence.

Total Recall...

She described it as having a file cabinet in your head. You can open a drawer and find the file when you need it but when you don't need it you don't think about it. Makes sense to me. ~i&b
