Leading lady
BE it known Marilu Henner —of “Grease,” TV’s “Taxi,” nine films, 54 Below, did Roxie in the show “Chicago,” done a book — is our planet’s most uplifting positive person.
“I started with a Chicago backyard dance school, kitchen beauty shop, art class, then our community theater planned a raw, dark, gritty, take clothes off high school show, which I thought would go no place, became ‘Grease’ and I earned $325 a week. My mom wouldn’t see it because I said f - - k seven times.”
She’s just done Disney’s film “Haunted Mansion” with Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, and found time for three husbands.
“My final husband. Marriage is like making waffles. You throw out the first batch. I have an unusual memory. My body, my measurements are better than ever. I gave up meat, dairy, am plant-based and 54 pounds thinner than I ever was. I’m working, I’m busy, I’m grateful for everything.”
