Marilu Henner's Wild Encounter With A 'Stark Naked' Richard Gere

Veteran actress Marilu Henner dropped by HuffPost Live on Monday to chat about her unbelievable memory , her Food Network special "Marilu's Simple Good Food," and a wild screen test with Richard Gere that might make you a little jealous.

Henner acted alongside Gere in the 1978 film "Bloodbrothers ," and she told host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani that Gere was "so outrageous" in the screen test that she immediately knew he'd get the job.

"We were doing a love scene, and he was stark naked," Henner remembered. "Butt naked in bed for the screen test. I thought, 'This guy's got balls'."
