Marilu Henner Reflects on Derek Hough Partnership

Marilu Henner recently reflected on her challenging experience with Derek Hough during season 23 of 'Dancing With the Stars' on Cheryl Burke’s podcast. She articulated difficulties with Hough's erratic teaching style, noting that he frequently altered choreography, which complicated her ability to memorize steps. Despite her Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, she found it hard to adapt to the constant changes, stating, 'Maybe my memory is a little bit of a curse.' Henner expressed that every performance felt different due to Hough's spontaneous approach, which even included last-minute adjustments before going on stage. Despite these challenges, she and Hough placed sixth and she spoke fondly of their time together, indicating no regrets about the experience.
