Publisher's Synopsis
The instant New York Times bestseller.From being catapulted to world-wide fame as The Fonz in hit TV series Happy Days to becoming so typecast he could hardly find work, and the roles that 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 here), 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 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 fulfillment within yourself.'Entertaining . . . there are fun moments throughout' - Daily Mail.
