Being Henry Winkler
About the Event:
Widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood, Henry Winkler’s incredible career was launched by his iconic portrayal of “The Fonz” in Happy Days. Following his recent and critically-acclaimed TV roles in Arrested Development and Barry, Winkler is embracing the power of truth and self-fulfillment outside of showbiz in his new vulnerable memoir, Being Henry. The Emmy Award winning actor, producer, comedian, and director takes the Chicago Humanities stage, led in-conversation with his Barry co-star D’Arcy Carden, to reflect on the ups and downs of his life, all told with his signature charm.
