With the energy of a teenager and the wisdom of a sage, Marilu Henner has deservedly earned the nickname “Perpetual Motion.” Along with starring in over thirty films, six Broadway Shows, and two hit classic sitcoms,
Taxi and
Evening Shade, this five time Golden Globe Nominee is also a New York Times Best-selling Author of eight books on health, fitness, and lifestyle improvement, changing the lives of millions in her quest to make the world a healthier place. She also has hosted and executive produced talk shows, appeared as a competitor on Donald Trump’s
Celebrity Apprentice, and hosted and guest-starred on many TV shows in addition to being “Talk Show Guest of the Year”! As one of six people documented with Superior Autobiographical Memory, Marilu was recently the subject of a two-part special on
60 Minutes. She will next appear in the feature film
Vamps scheduled for release this summer and as the host of the new series
Here’s To Your Health! later this year. She also serves as the consultant on the new CBS series Unforgettable, which premieres this fall. Marilu was a pioneer on the Internet, starting her own website, Marilu.com in 1999. She has taught classes for her growing membership ever since, as well as offering online counseling and support.
Marilu has spoken before Congress in Washington on several occasions as an expert on dietary supplements, women’s cardiovascular disease, deadbeat parents, and she was one of only two private citizens selected to contribute to the shaping of our Government’s food pyramid. Last spring she again faced Congress to present healthy dietary guidelines for kids as part of the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2010. Marilu lectures frequently throughout the country as a keynote speaker and motivator for professional organizations, universities, government agencies, interest groups, and corporations on topics ranging from diet and fitness, women’s health issues, cardiovascular disease, cancer survival, and child rearing; as well as lifestyle, entertainment, and business organization strategies.
Marilu Henner is married to Michael Brown, CEO and Founder of Browntrout Publishers, (a calendar company!) and the busy mother of two teenage boys, Nick and Joey. Because she practices what she preaches, Marilu has truly become the quintessential portrait of what health and fitness can do for one’s life, and she loves to give back to her community in so many ways!
