Michael Brown’s wife has been gracing our screens and entertaining us one way or the other, for over four decades. Brown is married to the lovely Marilu Henner. His 64-year-old red-headed beauty can scratch DWTS off from her list. Henner is currently singed up for season 23 of the hit TV show. She is currently partnered with returning pro, Derek Hough.
Born Mary Lucy Denise Henner, we all know her best from her role as Elaine O’Connor Nardo on the sitcom Taxi from 1978 to 1983. At 64, Marilu can also say she is a producer, radio host, author a mom and a wife.
Henner has been on Broadway many times in her career, including roles in Pal Joey, The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife and the long-running revival of Chicago. In 1971 Henner was cast as “Mary” in a community theater production of a then-unknown rock-and-roll musical called Grease.
She has written almost a dozen books, with the latest being “Total Memory Makeover” which talks about her unique ability, Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. If Henner wanted to write about love, she also would have plenty of material.
