As a lifestyle expert, I find myself consistently inspired by individuals who not only embody timeless style and grace but also demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and a touch of relatability – qualities that Henry Winkler seems to effortlessly exude.


On a day in Beverly Hills, Henry Winkler, famously known for Happy Days, appeared just as young and vibrant as always, carrying his newly published memoir.

78-year-old actor, famed for playing the easygoing and laidback character Fonzie, exited Il Pastaio, an upscale Italian restaurant, following a prolonged two-hour meal with colleagues.

Unshaven Winkler was dressed in a casual yet stylish ensemble, consisting of brightly colored braces, red jeans, and a check blue shirt. 

Nevertheless, the actor seemed to have some difficulty putting on his coat, which gave him a down-to-earth appeal that contrasted with his polished image.

On my stroll towards my vehicle, I couldn’t help but clutch a personal keepsake – a copy of my memoir, “Being Henry Winkler: The Fonz… And Beyond.

The book, published in October of the previous year, has received acclaim for its honest and amusing portrayal of the actor’s personal life and professional journey.

Apart from his memoir, Winkler had a bag adorned with the likeness of Farrah Fawcett, a renowned figure from Charlie’s Angels, who passed away in 2009, on it as well.

Initially, the bag came from Peace Love Solve, a clothing and lifestyle company founded by philanthropist Marla Garchik with the aim of promoting understanding, acceptance, compassion, and inclusivity for individuals with autism.

The bag is no longer for sale. 

The actor has been enjoying a busy few years, with several new projects in the works. 

As a devoted supporter, I’m excitedly spreading the word about Winkler’s latest creation – his captivating children’s book, “Detective Duck: The Case of the Missing Tadpole.

The narrative unfolds around a sleuth duck and her animal allies, who work together to unravel ecological enigmas triggered by human activities such as contaminated waters, garbage accumulation, climate change, and devastation of habitats.

Initially, Winkler gained prominence when he appeared as the local tough character Fonzie on the popular 70s series Happy Days.

It transpired that the character became incredibly well-liked; as a result, they were cast as the main protagonist in a show that ran for an impressive decade.

In addition to his roles in the Adam Sandler films “The Waterboy” and “Little Nicky”, Winkler has shown great adaptability by lending his voice to various animated series such as “Clifford’s Puppy Days” and “Sit Down, Shut Up”.

During the 2010s, Henry charmed viewers with his performances in comedic roles across various shows like Parks and Recreation, Royal Pains, Arrested Development, and Barry, appearing on camera for each.

In the Hank Zipzer television show, which is adapted from his well-known books, I had the privilege of stepping into the role of music teacher Mr. Rock.

Looking back on my life’s experiences, I shared with People last year that for much of my adulthood, I was gripped by fear, projecting an image of calm while harboring constant anxiety within.

Reflecting on the past, I firmly believe in 2023 that perseverance, gratitude, and adaptability are all essential traits. You need to be resilient, appreciative, and ready to adjust when necessary.
