| Description: | Select Guide Rating From Emmy-award winning actor, author, comedian, producer and director Henry Winkler, Being Henry is a deeply thoughtful memoir of the lifelong effects of stardom and the struggle to become whole. <p><b>The instant <i>New York Times</i> bestseller.<br>Winner of 'Humour' – Goodreads Choice Awards, Best Books of 2023.<br><br>Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as 'The Fonz' in the beloved <i>Happy Days</i>, has transcended the role that made him who he is.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>Since the glorious era of <i>Happy Days</i> fame, Henry has endeared himself to a new generation with roles in such adored shows as <i>Arrested Development</i>, <i>Parks and Recreation</i>, and <i>Barry</i>, 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.<br><br><b>Filled with profound heart, charm, and self-deprecating humor, <i>Being Henry</i> 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.<br><br>'Smart and entertaining' – <i>New York Times</i></b></p> |
