Actor CHRISTOPHER WALKEN has had to remember plenty of lines during his acting career, but the 67-year-old star says he can even recall events from as far back as when he was two months old and in diapers.
During an interview with New Yorker magazine, Walken returned to his old neighborhood in Queens, New York and spoke with a woman who currently live in his childhood home. When the resident invited Walken in, the Oscar-winner immediately got a flashback and said he remembered having his diaper changed on the kitchen table. Walken said he also remembered what one of his parents was eating at the time.
In describing the diaper-changing moment, Walken tells the magazine, “The first thing I can remember I was on my back, on that kitchen table, and the window facing the street was open. I remember this marvelous breeze coming in, so it was around June, and I was a couple of months old. And I turned my head and right next to me was a white plate with scrambled eggs on it. I can still see it.” Walken was born March 31, 1943.
Walken won an Academy Award as best supporting actor for the 1978 film The Deer Hunter.

I remember when we lived on Central Avenue in Kearney getting a bath in the kitchen sink. Also remember when I was about 3 the milkman delivering a bottle of milk to the milk box on the back porch. He scared me.
