Description: Being Henry by Henry Winkler Instant New York Times Bestseller! From Emmy-award winning actor, author, comedian, producer, and director Henry Winkler, a deeply thoughtful memoir of the lifelong effects of stardom and the struggle to become whole. Henry Winkler, launched into prominence 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 its simply not the case, hes 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 hes been revealed 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.

Review "Smart and entertaining."-The New York Times "[An] inspirational story of one of Hollywoods most beloved figures who became an unlikely TV screen icon and later a champion for those with dyslexia."--The Associated Press "You want to brew him some tea, pat his arm. His tender memoir isnt explicitly dishy. Its an excavation of his challenges, pain and neuroses."--The Washington Post "More than anything, Being Henry is the story of a talented actor who, as his wife puts it, can "charm the pants" off of anyone...Its about the struggle to come into oneself after decades of self-alienation, and about perseverance." --The Daily Beast "This charming autobiography of personal struggles during times of career success and challenge deserves a big thumbs-up." --Kirkus "[A] winning memoir...Though Winkler includes plenty of inside-Hollywood fare, the books frankness sets it apart from standard-issue actor memoirs. The result is a heartfelt chronicle of learning to love ones self, shortcomings and all."--Publishers Weekly "Sharing memorable and funny behind-the-scenes moments, BeingHenry entertains as an introspective, self-deprecating, and quite moving memoir from a versatile actor....The many, many fans Winkler has gathered over his 50 years in Hollywood wont be disappointed by this charming memoir."--Booklist Details ISBN1250888093 Author Henry Winkler Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1250888093 ISBN-13 9781250888099 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-10-31 UK Release Date 2023-10-31 Imprint St Martins Press Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Subtitle The Fonz . . . and Beyond AU Release Date 2023-10-31 NZ Release Date 2023-10-31 US Release Date 2023-10-31 Narrator Henry Winkler Pages 256 Publisher St Martins Press DEWEY B Audience General Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
