Do NOT Ask Marilu Henner About This Historic Date in History

[Pink Freud]

This weekend, of course, marks 55 years since man's first walk on the moon. However, actress Marilu Henner ("Taxi") will never remember it for that.

Decades ago, on Bob Costas's wonderful late-night "Later" show, he was interviewing Henner one on one, when he said he'd been told that she had a photographic memory. Mention any date on the calendar or in history and she could tell you what happened that day. So, he tested her with an easy one: July 20, 1969. Of course, that's the moon landing weekend.

Not to her.

Henner immediately turned beet red and started giggling nervously, looking around as if the joke was on her. She told Costas "Did someone put you up to this?". Costas clearly had no idea what she was getting at. Then she came clean (so to speak):

"That was the night I lost my virginity". You should have seen Costas's face. They immediately broke for commercial, with Henner's voice during the fadeout explaining "In the shower. Standing up."

Isn't it amazing what just asking questions can sometimes get you?
