Zack Sharf Digital News Director Henry Winkler has long been open about discussing his life with dyslexia, but he explores the topic and its relationship to his career-defining run on “Happy Days” in frank detail in his upcoming memoir “Being Henry: The Fonz… and Beyond” (via People magazine). The actor appeared as Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli on all 11 seasons of the ABC comedy series, but it wasn’t until well into the show’s run when Winker discovered at 31 years old that he was dyslexic. He writes that the discovery made him “so fucking angry.” “Even in the midst of ‘Happy Days,’ at the height of my fame and success, I felt embarrassed, inadequate,” Winkler writes.
“Every Monday at 10 o’clock, we would have a table reading of that week’s script, and at every reading I would lose my place or stumble. I would leave a word out, a line out. I was constantly failing to give the right cue line, which would then screw up the joke for the person doing the scene with me.
Or I would be staring at a word, like ‘invincible,’ and have no idea on earth how to pronounce it or even sound it out.” Winkler continues, “My brain and I were in different zip codes. Meanwhile, the other actors would be waiting, staring at me: It was humiliating and shameful. Everybody in the cast was warm and supportive, but I constantly felt I was letting them down.
