What is discussed at the start of this section?
Took measurements, 300 measurements of my brain and found nine areas 10 times larger than the normal brain.
What's unfortunate is in watching some recent interviews with you, I feel like they're not really getting at your story as much as they're getting at sort of your gift.
One of the theories I have is always that you don't become a success in this business until someone champions you or falls in love with you. And I don't mean romantic love, just believes in you. Yeah. And like Jim Jacobs, he's the one who pushed me in the direction of Greece. Wow. and 112 parties. We had a taxi party every single Friday. We were the cool kids on the Paramount campus. You're talking like a rock star. This is how we talk.
So, here we are.
Here we are.
Both Chicago. Amazing. In the land of dreams here in Los Angeles.
You don't get to meet that many Chicago people.
Well, not many people get out of Chicago, but we'll get to that. And there's a reason why most people don't get out of Chicago. We'll get to that, too.
Okay.
So, April 6, 1952. Yes.
Okay.
Babies born in the year of the dragon are considered to be the luckiest and destined for the most success in life and are ambitious, confident, and have a strong sense of justice and fairness.
Well, that describes me to a T. Does it? I don't know.
I'm asking.
You know, it's funny. It's my uncle lived, I lived in Logan Square in Chicago, right on Logan Boulevard. And we had a dancing school in our backyard and a beauty shop in our kitchen. And my uncle was the neighborhood, not only astrologist, but he also taught art at the Catholic grammar school next door. So we were big on astrology. So I didn't even know about the dragon. I just knew that I was an Aries and all my rising sign and everything else. Well, I thought that was interesting. Yeah, it's cool.
Because, you know, when you're interviewing somebody that you're familiar with through the public sphere, you have an impression of their public character. Yeah. And then in researching you, I thought, well, there's this other person. And I'm not saying they're different. Well, we'll see. But we'll get there. We'll get there. But yeah.
I can't wait. We have so many things to get to.
But in digging around for different information, I saw that and I thought it seemed to me to describe my sense of you as who you really are. Does that make sense? I feel like, and I don't know because I don't know you, but I felt that it's sort of, because your spirit always struck out to me. I've seen you on television, I don't know how many times, and in movies, but you always stuck out differently than most people.
Oh, yeah. Do you have an impression? Well... I always had a lot of energy, even as a little girl. And my mother used to say, like, run around the block a couple of times, get rid of some of that energy. And I was just always the most energetic of the family. So I think maybe that's what.
But I think it's, I don't know.
How does Marilu Henner describe her upbringing and influences?
I'm not trying to put something on you. That's why we're going to talk. But your sense of spirit has seems to run through your whole life in a consistent way. Does that make sense?
It does. I think you're right. I think.
Is it a sense of self or is it a sense of spirit? Does that make sense?
It's maybe a sense of both. It's, you know, I think being one of six kids, you look for things that maybe make you a little bit different. And so... My sister always says that, you know, among the family members, there were 10 confidence coupons. And she said, and you took nine of them. And my response to her was, there was a 10th? But I think it wasn't even that. It was like, I always felt like... I don't know. I had something to prove to myself, not even to my parents. I knew I had a lot of energy. I knew I was smart in school. I knew I had this crazy memory from the time I was six. There were four girls in my family and two boys growing up. to do. My sisters are gorgeous. They're all beautiful. And so I always felt like the personality kid and the one with the, I'll figure it out, that kind of thing.
And then I chose show business too.
