" "The Key to life is how well you deal with plan b. If you're open to possiblity, magical things can happen." From her hilarious television debut as Elaine Nardo on the landmark comedy Taxi to her work with Burt Reynolds on the beloved Evening Shade to Marilu, her current talk show, Marilu Henner has become one of America's favorite - and most outspoken - actresses. Now, Marilu gathers her incredible energy, refreshing wit, and uninhibited style to tell a Hollywood success story as it has never been told before. Whether she's talking about life on the set or her passionate affairs, recounting hilarity or heartbreack, or chatting about John Travolta, Steve Martin, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, or Richard Gere, the sexy, brash Marilu pulls no punches. With an irrepressible appetite for life and a generous spirit, Marilu brings us her unique tale .and her inspirational prescription for fun and happiness. As a kid in Chicago Marilu didn't just want to be a performer, she yearned for stardom. And her large Catholic Polish-Greek family was just eccentric enough to nurture such creazy dreams - her mother ran a dancing school in the garage and regularly took the nuns bra shopping at Vassarette. From her church singing debut at age three to a part in the original community theater production of Grease, Marilu always knew she preferred cabaret to catechism. But before her first big break, she endured a tragedy that forever changed her life: her father's death of a heart attack at age fifty-two under shocking circumstances. It began an ebb and flow of sadness and joy in Marilu's life; not long after the funeral she was in rehearsals for the national company of Grease, bonding with a kindred spirit who would figure prominently in her life thereafter - the young John Travolta. "I love the way men smell. I love the way they taste, their texture, the way they're built." Marilu has always indulged her lust for life, whether it meant seizing the moment with Johnny or jetting off to Venice to immortalize the phrase "ring around the collar" in one of the many commercials that paid her early rent. But it was with the career-making role of Elaine Nardo on Taxi that the world first came to love Marilu's sultry lunacy. So did her costars Tony Danza and Judd Hirsch, and Marilu writes candidly about the romantic relatinships ignited on the set of Taxi. Along the way she weathered a tempestuous marriage to actor Frederic Forrest. There would be many adventures before she found her soulmate. "Family is the one constant in my life." Still extremely close to all her brothers and sisters, Marilu cherishes her family even more since the early deaths of her parents. Now happily married to director-producer Robert Lieberman, she is the proud and ecstatic mother of baby Nicky ("Pregnancy after forty - what a cliffhanger?") She has found an internal harmony that has given her a whole new energy. Looking and feeling her all-time best. Marilu lives life with a passion that will strike a chord with every woman - and man - who has ever chased a dream." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
