Fox News: Many fans remember you from “Taxi.” What’s your favorite memory from your time on the set?
Marilu Henner: Oh my gosh. Well, first of all, we had a party every Friday and everybody would come. We were like the cool kids in school. And during that time on the Paramount lot, we had “Happy Days,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “Bosom Buddies” with Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. We had “Working Stiffs” with Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi. “Mork & Mindy” with Robin Williams and Pam Dawber.
So we were like the cool kids and everybody would come and hang out with us because we had these parties every week. So those were certainly memorable. And then there were so many great “Taxi” episodes. It was just a great experience. Just so special. It was definitely the golden era of sitcoms.
Fox News: Have you stayed in touch with any of your “Taxi” castmates?
Henner: We always stayed in touch with each other. We never lost touch… [And with this pandemic], we do a “Taxi” Zoom every two months. We have one coming up pretty soon. We did one in Christmas, one around Valentine’s Day, one for Jim Brooks’ birthday. And he did one for the anniversary of “Taxi.” We just keep having these Zooms. So we’re all very current with one another. And we have a text chain as well. We’re in contact every week. So yeah, I’m very close to those guys.
