I am so excited to catch up with one of my all time favorite Actresses, 5-time Golden Globe nominee, Marilu Henner whom I have not spoken with since 2023 when Marilu was starring in Sandra Tsing Loh's Off Broadway play, Madwomen of the West.
Now, Marilu is getting ready to return to the Off Broadway stage, this time, in Michael Griffo's hit Off Broadway play, Pen Pals. Marilu will be starring alongside her long-time friend & Madwomen co-star Brooke Adams.
One of the things I LOVE most about this NEW interview with Marilu is how personal she gets throughout our conversation & how she showcases her superhero memory at the start of the interview & then again towards the end, during our game.
In between, we have a wonderful discussion about Pen Pals & the role of Bernie.
In this NEW interview, Marilu once again answered my call, but this time around she shares:
- How Pen Pals found its way to her
- The real life moments shaping her take on Bernie
- Her superhero memory in action in a Pen Pals date challenge
- A whole lot more you don’t want to miss

Pen Pals is the extraordinary story of two friends that unfolds over decades. With a rotating cast of renowned actors, no two performances will ever be the same.
Bernie and Mags live in two different countries, they’ve never met, and yet they’re best friends. Because they’ve been pen pals for over fifty years. Since they were teenagers, they’ve shared every aspect of their lives with each other. The trivial bits, the most intimate details, all the happiness, all the heartache. They’ve told each other things they wouldn’t dare tell another soul. Even though Bernie lives in New Jersey and Mags is from England, the women are closer to each other than anyone else in the world.
Marilu will be starring in Pen Pals for TWO WEEKS ONLY, from February 4-15, 2026 at the Daryl Roth DR2 Theatre in NYC. Click Here for tickets!
