Summary

Marilu Henner steps Behind The Rope. Actress (who has appeared in over 50 movies and TV shows), Broadway Thespian (who has appeared in over 7 Broadway Shows), NY Times Best Selling Author (of over 10 books), Producer, Reality TV Star (who has appeared in some of our favs), Former Talk Show Host, what hasn’t Marilu done? Marilu chats about how life changed forever due to her breakout role as Elaine O’Connor Nardo in the iconic “Taxi”. Marilu has worked with everyone - we talked fav movie, fav co-star, fav movie, best on and off screen kiss (Marilu did date both John Travolta and Tony Danza, after all!). Marliu talks about her talk show - the good and bad, the current landscape of talk shows - WWHL (yes, we chat about Daddy Cohen and Housewives!), The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and would she ever return to the format. Of course, we deep dive into her reality TV Career - a two season appearance on Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing With The Stars chatting about those experiences and some of her co-stars Lisa Rinna, Omarosa, Claudia Jordan, La Toya Jackson. One thing is for sure, Marilu will remember this appearance on the “Behind The Velvet Rope” Podcast for the REST of her life. That is right, she has a fascinating total recall memory where she can remember the details of what happened on specific dates and years!!! Can you even imagine? Finally, Marilu has a new Off Broadway Play currently in Bucks County, “The Marilu Henner Show” which has been selling out to rave reviews night after night. Might Marilu be headed back to Broadway in the near future? #staytuned @therealmarilu @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
