What a simply lovely bloke!
Guy's still acting, currently has 3 tv series on the go & has written 23 books!
His parents barely escaped the Nazi concentration camps in WW2 Germany & he lost all the rest of his family
If you haven't seen it & are a fan, you should look it up on iPlayer, it's only like 20 mins or something & worth watching.

Have witnessed him walk into a meeting room and say who he was in a totally normal way (with no expectation that people would know who he was........which of course they did).Impressive.
Edited as just found local paper interview

I watched One show with him on and he came accross very nice and friendly and obviously after all these years hasnt let the fame get to his head
Sometimes Hardtalk is quite heavy going but Henry Winkler was such a refreshing change.
He is such an interesting character and has done so much in his life.
Yes, that's the impression I get. I'm sure I read somewhere that he at one point he got a bit fed up of The 'Fonz' tag until he went somewhere and a young child called it at at him. He later got a letter of the child's mum to say that the child was special needs and it was the first word they'd ever spoken. Must google it.
I love to see him being interviewed, so genuine and interesting and has a real passion to help young people read.
He's an absolute gem isn't he. Love him
Yeah i was so shocked when i read it as hes been around for ages with Happy days and films ect

I saw him on Breakfast news a few months ago talking about his work with dyslexic kids, he still has so much passion for everything. Lovely bloke.
It was so moving to hear him relate the story of his son saying in an interview that his biggest problem growing up was that he ''was loved too much''.
Not many kids, Hollywood or otherwise can say that.
The video accompanying this story was great. What a star to give up his time to visit a little primary school he'd never heard of. I can't imagine many Hollywood actors doing the same. Fantastic interaction with the kids.
He seems an absolutely top guy, he lights up programmes and films; and was briliant in Scream.
Then you would like this scene in Arrested Development

that's really great, i'd only want a few autographs, & he'd be one of them.
