Henry winkler biography movies and tv shows
•
Henry Winkler has appeared on both the big screen and the TV screen, on scen, and behind the camera. Perhaps to many of us living in the 1970’s and ‘80s, he’ll forever be remembered first as the leather-jacket wearing, motorcycle-riding Arthur Fonzarelli, AKA, the “Fonz.” But Henry Winkler went on to produce television shows, like the very successful and popular show, MacGyver; direkt several movies; and act in Neil Simon’s play, The Dinner Party, among others. He also pens the popular Hank Zipzer series, with co-author Lin Oliver, about the adventures and misadventures of the ever resourceful, but struggling student named Hank. Henry and Hank have a lot in common, mostly because the books center around the real-life experiences of Henry Winkler. Despite being bright, both of them funnen school very difficult, no matter how much they wanted to do well. That’s because both of them have dyslexia—something that Henry didn’t discover about himself until he was 31.
