Why read it?
2 authors picked Being Henry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
To a child of the 60s/70s, there are few personalities who loom as large as The Fonz. Henry Winkler, the man who brought Arthur Fonzarelli to life, is the polar opposite of his sitcom character. Anxious, in and out of fashion and work, the gaps in his career path would have caused others to simply give up. And yet here he is, a legend. From Happy Days to Barry and beyond, this book offers a thorough picture of a sweet man who I, for one, never tire of.
I read so many biographies of actors and I was especially surprised to read about Winkler's heavy-duty insecurity. Many actors are insecure but Winkler was especially that way, and especially honest about it.
