Henry Winkler has written more than a dozen children’s books and is now out with a memoir, a feat that surprises him because he’s battled severe dyslexia all his life.
Henry Winkler poses for a portrait in New York on Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, to promote his memoir"Being Henry: The Fonz...and Beyond."
“I listen to sounds of rain. A rainstorm in Cologne. A rainstorm in Scotland. I sit in an armchair and meditate. Two frogs next to a lake in Switzerland. It could really be a rainstorm in West Covina, California. I'd have no idea,” he said. Winkler writes about landing the role of Arthur Fonzarelli, the Fonz, on TV’s “Happy Days'' in a 1973 audition. The role made him an overnight star. In 2018, he received his first primetime Emmy for his role as Gene Cousineau on"Barry.''
AP: You write about rising to fame overnight as Fonzie on “Happy Days." How did you handle that attention? WINKLER: I was very aware that it would be so hurtful, a slap in the face to these people that helped me get to the position where they could want to change the name of the show or give me my own show. It would have been disastrous.WINKLER: They were just here. His whole family and mine talking about when Ron called me to tell me he was leaving “Happy Days.”
