Wow! He had the chance to make a lot of money, but he stayed loyal to his friend!

[joylives_her]

I love how everytime he mimicks Sylvester Stallone he does it in Sylvesters voice.😃

[vCLOWNSHOESv]

Stallone is an icon from the most humble beginnings. His story makes you cheer for him because he really is Rocky.

My English teacher in highschool got permission and a bus to take us all to see rocky right after it came out. One of the best class trips ever. God bless your soul Mrs Alice Schmedes. McKee voc and tech highschool. Loved that school and all it's

One of THE biggest compliments I’ve ever received in my life was when I was in my early 20’s working on my first tv show, Hard Copy. I was on the lot at Paramount Pictures and Henry walked by, and out of nowhere just stopped to tell me how beautiful I looked! I was always teased, bullied and ridiculed as a kid and was therefore insecure about my looks. Thank you Henry for boosting my confidence!!

The fonz after all these years still a cool dude and tells it like it is.heyyy👍

[deanwallis]

That's an amazing story and thank you so much fonzy...No Rocky without the man...

[MediaSubliminal]

Henry Winkler is such a likeable person. Happy Days was before my time but I remember being a little kid and my mom would watch it right before Laverne and Shirley.
But I remember him from other things. He has always kept it squeaky clean. I respect an actor that keeps it that way their entire career. It probably wasn't easy sometimes.

EDIT: Hell, even Will Smith went south. I NEVER thought I'd hear him use foul language. Nothing inherently bad about random words but think of it this way; How many times would you think that Mr. Winkler was handed a script with some 'F'bombs and he refused to say those words. Plus, try to dig up some dirt on him. There simply is none.More amazing when you consider that so many women loved him when he was in Happy Days.

btw, thanks for all the likes everyone!

"Don't let them do that to me" fonz nailed that impression 😄

[drewjohnson]

Henry Winkler is a National treasure .

[ssmith]

makes my skin crawl knowing what he's been up to through his life!!

[BitwiseMobile]

Henry Winkler is a wonderful person. So many stories and examples of him being kind and selfless.

[pete]

Two legendary actors talking about another legendary actor speaking about a legendary movie....
Priceless...🙂

[edwingooden]

Anywhere Henry Winkler is present I watch..I love this amazing legend

[sugewhitejacoby]

I did some Bodyguard work for Henry when did Cop and a Half(I think) when it was being filmed in Tampa. He is one of the top 5 nicest people I ever worked for. Super nice guy!

[halgroshon]

What a story! OMG! So glad you got it back Henry, and so glad Sly said what he said!

[bluecollar]

That "don't let them do that to me" was unintentionally hilarious.

[vanessauevr]

Meant to be. Many don't know the story and sacrifice of what Sly went through in his refusal to give up on his scripted masterpiece upon rejection after rejection after rejection. He went broke. His wife left him. He was literally homeless living on the streets. He had to sell his one and only companion who stuck by his side through thick and thin - his dog. He came close to robbing someone just to survive, but didn't. He just wouldn't let go. He believed in himself so much. And then one day, it happened. The first thing he did when he got that first check was to buy his dog back. The new owner charged him $14, 000 because Sly had finally hit the jackpot. Sly paid it without hesitation, plus gave the guy a cameo shot in the movie. Now that's a good and thankful human being.

[m.giovanni]

Henry Winkler is really a great guy. His father from what I understand was really an sob and did horrible things to him like tell him he was a moron whatever.

And yet he never was someone that appeared to have anger about it or took it out on anyone. In fact when he was the funds he began having them writing to scripts things like eat your veggies the phones like the veggies so the kids would eat their veggies.

He's really just such a great guy.

When my high school friends found out my first name was really Alfonso, they started calling me the Fonz. Loved it!
