Marilu Henner's Super-Memory Summit
This week on "60 Minutes," Lesley Stahl reported on a very rare ability: to remember each day of your life as if it happened yesterday. It's called "superior autobiographical memory" and scientists have only identified a handful of people in the world who have it. One of them is actress Marilu Henner of "Taxi," oddly enough.
Marilu is an old friend of Lesley's, and in this "Overtime" video, produced by David Rubin, you'll hear the story behind the "60 Minutes" story. It's one you won't soon forget.
