Henry Winkler
Biography
Date of Birth 30 October 1945, New York City, New York, USA Birth Name Henry Franklin Winkler Height 5' 6" (1.68 m) Henry Franklin Winkler is a Golden Globe Award-winning actor, director, producer and author who is most famous for his role as Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on the popular sitcom Happy Days (1974–1984). Winkler gained national fame for his auto mechanic-greaser role as "The Fonz", starting out as a minor character at the show's beginning but having top billing by the time the show ended. The son of Jewish parents, Harry Irving and Ilse Anna Maria Winkler, who escaped from Germany before the beginning of World War II, Winkler was born in New York City. He attended the McBurney School and received his bachelor's degree from Emerson College in 1967 and his MFA from the Yale School of Drama in 1970. Although the Vietnam War was going on during that time, Winkler did not serve in the military. In 1978, Emerson gave Winkler an honorary doctorate of humane letters.[1] He has been married to the former Stacey Weitzman since May 5, 1978, and they have three children whose names are Jed, Zoe, and Max. In September 2003, Winkler's friend of nearly 25 years, John Ritter, died unexpectedly. The day that Ritter died, Winkler was slated to guest star on Ritter's ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. Winkler was devastated and as a tribute to the impact his friend and fellow actor had on his life, he reminisced fondly on many TV outlets (such as Entertainment Tonight, and the Emmy Awards) to pay his respects to his deceased friend. He is also a cousin of Sue Johanson[
