Henry Winkler celebrates 81st birthday and career milestones

Actor Henry Winkler celebrated his 81st birthday on Friday, October 30. The milestone highlights a career spanning over 50 years, most notably his iconic role as Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli on the sitcom Happy Days, which ran until 1984.

In his memoir, The Steps, Sylvester Stallone recounted a formative moment when Winkler visited his modest apartment early in Stallone's career. Stallone noted that Winkler provided significant encouragement after reading his screenplays, telling him that every word written was a step in the right direction.

Winkler continues to work in the industry, with his recent project, Hazardous History with Henry Winkler, exploring historical American products and activities. He has been married to Stacey Weitzman since 1978, and they have three children: Jed, Zoe, and Max.
