Henry Winkler – Born in 1945
In the 1970s, nobody was cooler than Henry Winkler. Leather jacket, motorcycle, perfect hair—he ruled prime-time TV as Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli on “Happy Days.” What started as a minor role turned into the show’s biggest draw, making him one of the most recognizable faces of the decade.
His swagger was iconic, but it was his charm that won the hearts of audiences. By the late 1970s, he had Golden Globes on his shelf and legions of fans imitating his famous “Ayy!” catchphrase. After “Happy Days,” he switched gears, acting in films like “Night Shift” and later directing. Behind the scenes, he became an author, writing children’s books.
