Henry Winkler

Henry Winkler will forever be Fonzie, the leather-jacketed embodiment of cool from 'Happy Days' (1974-1984), a role so iconic it threatened to swallow his career. Born in New York in 1945 to German-Jewish refugees and trained at Yale, he spent the following decades producing, directing and writing children's books about a dyslexic boy, drawing on his own dyslexia. Comedy brought him back into view: the hapless lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn in 'Arrested Development' (2003), Coach Klein in 'The Waterboy' (1998) and finally the vain acting teacher Gene Cousineau in 'Barry' (2018-2023), which won him his first Emmy at 72.
