By All Means Keep on Moving
Marilu Henner. Pocket Books, $22 (308pp) ISBN 978-0-671-78446-1
Henner, who played Elaine Nardo in the Emmy-winning TV show Taxi and costarred with Burt Reynolds in Evening Shade, here ``tells it all'' with coauthor Jerome. Raised in Chicago by parents who encouraged their children's self-expression, Henner launched her career in the national touring company of Grease. Moving from stage to film to TV, she led just as eclectic a private life. Uninhibited, she tells of her many relationships, including her short-lived marriage to actor Frederic Forrest. Devastated by her parents' premature deaths and a period where she couldn't find work, Henner entered therapy and went ``macrobiotic,'' eating no dairy foods and exercising vigorously. Today, in her 40s, she is a happily married mother and looks ``the best I ever looked.'' An upbeat story of a dynamic woman who keeps on moving no matter what. Photos not seen by PW. (Oct.)
