HENRY WINKLER | 76

Henry Winkler is best remembered for his role as Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli in the 1970s sitcom, Happy Days. The role was so iconic that it was even featured in an episode of the hit sitcom, Friends. For his performance as Fonzie, he won two Golden Globe Awards. It’s amazing to know more about his humble beginnings back when he was young when his dream was always to be an actor. He even worked as an extra on a game show and received $10 for the role. Now a retired actor, Winkler ventured into writing and now has 19 books to his credit.

Given the financial stability that Winkler has, at his age retirement is quite far for him. In 2018, he played the role of Coach Gene Cousineau in the comedy series Barry. He was then nominated and received the 2018 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
