by Winkler, Henry | USA Published 31/10/2024 by PAN MACMILLAN (Pan Books) in the United Kingdom Paperback | 256 pages196 x 131 x 19mm | 206gThe instant New York Times bestseller.Henry Winkler was catapulted to worldwide fame as The Fonz in hit TV series Happy Days. When it ended, he could hardly find work. Through highs, lows and the roles that have won him a new generation of fans, this is Henry Winkler's funny, insightful and moving account of an extraordinary life.Widely-regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be there), Henry Winkler shares the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.He describes how his career slumped after Happy Days ended, makes us laugh as he reveals some of the highlights (and low moments) from his directing career, including being fired from Turner and Hooch and failing to impress Burt Reynolds on Cop and a Half, and takes us behind the scenes on Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation and Barry, where he’s shown himself to be an actor with immense depth and pathos.Charming and heartfelt, Being Henry is about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is a testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness and of finding fulfilment within yourself.'Entertaining . . . there are fun moments throughout' – Daily Mail
