Imagine being able to remember every minut detail of your life you can recall what the weather

was like
what you were reading or what you wore to the shops at any minute any hour or any day stretching back
decades it sounds like some kind of parlor trick but it's actually a real and very rare medical
phenomenon so far scientists have identified ten cases worldwide and believe me what these people can
do will quite simply make your head spin take a ride with me down memory lane with veteran
Hollywood actress Marilu Henner July 22nd / 1978 here we go again I burped my first permit that I
moved into it's a hunch it's out feeling me right down this street for little things yeah for sure Mary Lou is
no stranger to

the limelight in the 1970s she starred in the sitcom taxi see I really like to have one

person there that I don't care about impressing but among her family and friends

Mary Lou henna has always been famous for remembering everything hey mom what

day was Valentine's Day in 79 it was a Wednesday and you're right never explained how you do I don't
do it I just see it and you can remember your

whole life yes I can remember my whole life and some things come up like right away and then some
other things kind of come up a little more slowly but eventually everything comes up I thought I'd see
just how far back Mary Lou's memory goes peaking at random an episode of taxi filmed more than 30
years ago I had a look at the taxi episode from 1978

come as you want do you know there is the fourth episode that we shot and I have the blue dress on so
that's gonna be my first question so what do you remember what I mean and I remember Tony's line
how come we can't go to the party - how come we can't go to the party - you know it's like things come
back line - Alex you're maybe my best friend you're meeting my best friend and he turns around you
know it's like the episode will come back to me and I'm Mary Lou is one of just ten people in the world
who've been tested and proved to have superior autobiographical memory October 1st 8th Total Recall
of every day of their lives extremely impressive Delta airline flight 191 crashes near Dallas Texas oh I
know exactly when that happened because it was August the 2nd of 1985 it was a Friday such a gift has
never been documented before and scientists like Professor James McCord are excited about where it
may lead one of them said it's like a Google search that you put it in and and it just sort of come there it
is and it it's the year and it's the month and it's a day and it sort of narrows in and it goes bang and
they've got it and this all happens very quickly it's just there

you have it that's how I explained to you how they do it it's not a scientific explanation it really is like
selected scenes on a DVD so how does it work if I throw you a random date say the 8th of September
1985 ok so they I know that number 1985 was a Sunday it's like 85 all of a sudden kind of lines itself up
and it gets completely organized sort of in a timeline way and I see the whole calendar sort of fall into
place it's an extraordinary skill and one that

Mary Lou is thrilled to have for others though like Jill Price who was the first person to be diagnosed with
this remarkable condition
