Charmingly and joyfully read by the author, Henry Winkler. The instant New York Times bestseller. Winner of 'Humour' - Goodreads Choice Awards, Best Books of 2023. Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as 'The Fonz' in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely-regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it's simply not the case, he's really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you. Since the glorious era of Happy Days fame, Henry has endeared himself to a new generation with roles in such adored shows as Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, and Barry, where he's revealed himself as an actor with immense depth and pathos, a departure from the period of his life when he was so distinctly typecast as 'The Fonz', he could hardly find work. Filled with profound heart, charm, and self-deprecating humor, Being Henry is a memoir about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness and of finding fulfillment within yourself.

Henry Winkler shares his story from childhood through adult stardom in his memoir BEING HENRY: THE FONZ... AND BEYOND.
I don't normally jump on reading celebrity memoirs but am glad that I took a chance on this one. Having only seen a few snippets of Happy Days and Henry's appearance on Parks and Rec, I wouldn't claim to be a huge fan based off of lack of really following him, not for lack of enjoying the work that I have seen. Even so, I was interested to read this memoir due to Henry's reputation as "the nicest man in Hollywood." What a nice read it turned out to be. I enjoyed learning about his childhood and how his career began and progressed over time, developing from acting to directing and producing. He shares his struggles with severe dyslexia and the impact that has had throughout his entire life. I love that he's written a children's book series centered on a boy with learning challenges, creating something positive for kids from his own difficult life experiences.
BEING HENRY: THE FONZ... AND BEYOND was an enjoyable read that I'd recommend to fans of celebrity memoirs. Thank you to Celadon Books for the gifted ARC.
