I've seen the movie Erin Brockovich many times, and thought I knew all about her. But I learned a lot more about this woman recently, while listening to her audiobook Superman's Not Coming. And I also watched a few videos, and whoah... now I really got it, why she was so critical in bringing PG&E to their knees.
There's a scene in Erin Brockovich where Erin (basically) shows she can remember the phone numbers of many (if not all) of the plaintiffs in the PG&E lawsuit. I don't doubt this is a smart woman who has called these people so many times, she probably did have a few of those numbers memorized. But I thought maybe her ability to recall random numbers was a bit of a Hollywood exaggeration.
But as it turns out, Erin really does have a real photographic memory. And it clearly served her (and the company she worked for) well in the lawsuit against PG&E.
