    I worked for Mr. Winkler on a film, and I met him once. He is the kindest and most decent man I’ve ever met in Hollywood. (And Spielberg). Hollywood can be very hard on people. The high pay makes people cut throat.

    This is just wonderful - his upbringing was horrendous but he soldiered through his disability and became a wonderful human being. I never met him, but was good friends with his sister for several years. She was immensely proud of him and what he accomplished under these circumstances. Great interview Steve, I expected nothing less.

    Great show! As a 73 year old who lived through the 60’s I know exactly what President Kennedy was talking about. There was a lot of change for the good and a lot more freedom for artistic expression. It wasn’t without its difficulties however. Thank you for a great show…

    The Fonz, the man who exuded coolness by being sincerely cool.
    No need to tell us, he simply showed us.
    Fonz was the heart of our 1970s, he was our spiritual anchor to simply holding coolness in our hearts.
    Coolness by kindness and wisdom.
    Henry Winkler will always be the Fonz for us.

    This hit home for me. I didn’t know Winkler and I had similar upbringings. My father also was a German refugee of the Holocaust who channeled that into being excessively strict. Years later he actually apologized to me. Now that I’m older I can better understand why he was the way he was. My brother and I see now with hindsight he suffered from PTSD.

    • @gilgemash
      @gilgemash Рік тому +2

      Just as an aside...no reflection on being German or from Germany... There's an excellent book called "The Shoemaker". By Flora Rheta Schreiber. True account / analysis of upbringing. I shan't expand on this more, here. It's worth reading. Multiple times. It unnerved me, when I first read it, about forty years ago. (I had a strict upbringing too. Unfortunately.
      And now I make sure I do not repeat the awfulness I was subjected to.) 🧘🎶🙏

Its one of the best experiences to me whenever I can hear stories told. Particularly stores of what ppl have experienced coming from coming to our great country. To me these stories embody what it means being an American n how blessed we are here. Thank you so much. Loved this video!

    I have such compassion for Henry's learning disability. My father could have been his. My brother had dyslexia and my father, who had been a teacher for 42 years, made his life a living hell. All because it made him look bad, not what it was doing to my brother! And I, too, became a totally different kind of parent because of what I had experienced as a child. Such a good interview! Thank you.

But I was determined to find Help for him. I had him tested it was Expensive but it was worth Every Penny. They told me he’d Never be able to Read and I Proved them all wrong. He Reads Everything today. Never Never give up on your Kids. Be their Advocate Fight for them Every Step of the Way. It’s Important to understand that not all Children learn the same way. Their Brains are Wired Different. Pain and Struggle can be Avoided. Thanks Steve 😘

    I always love a Henry Winkler interview. He is such a humble and sweet man. His interviews are usually him celebrating someone else. I grew up knowing the Fonz. The 1st time i saw him give an interview, post " Happy days" i was surprised he was nothing Fonz like. I absolutely loved him as Gene on Barry. The last few episodes was his best acting. Not spoiling the ending. It was a ending that was and wasn't expected. I wish we can have another season.

    Henry Winkler, tremendous AND diverse actor. Many great performances not just Fonzi on Happy Days. Not likely to vote for him specifically in an election for public office cause the guy has seemed to be a bit too liberal on a number of issues. However being that I'm the great grandchild of 8 Roman Catholic Italians and have been trying to convert to Masorti Judaism (religion not political in nature) very much like Winkler, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Leonard Nimoy, and a number of others G-d's to honest truth I really do look up to him a lot ...

    First of all, great interview Steve. I am so impressed by Henry Winkler and his life story. Much like Winkler I also grew up with a learning disability. The fact that he is still working harder than ever at 77 years old is a testament to his ethics. He is not content with retirement but keeps working. I have not seen Barry yet, but will put it on my list to watch (I love Bill Hader as well). I hope the network listens to him and puts Happy Days back in primetime. A whole new generation will learn about the show.

      Yes, wealth is Not equated with intelligence and furthermore wealth is Not equated with talent or skills.

    It is unfortunate for Henry that he seems unable to forgive his parents for their ignorance of dyslexia; it was not known then. True that they did not need to treat him badly, but sooo many parents and teachers disparaged and punished children because of a disorder that the children could not control.
    My parents also were very strict, and sometimes very insulting. Forgive them, Henry, because it serves no purpose to continue to be angry with them.
