By one role. Henry winkler was the fonz, the cool dude at the centre of the us tv show happy days which was a worldwide hit in the 70s and 80s. The show portrayed an innocent, untroubled 1950s america. It was a far cry from winklers own childhood which was clouded by undiagnosed dyslexia. How did a troubled kid come to be a symbol of sunny optimism, and what happened to the idealised america of happy days . Henry winkler, welcome to hardtalk. I am happy to be here.
