When the popularity of his “Happy Days” character, “The Fonz”, exploded in the 1970s, Henry Winkler worried he’d be one of Hollywood’s one-hit wonders. But almost 50 years later, he hasn’t stopped working, from movies like “The Waterboy,” featured roles in “Parks and Recreation” and “Arrested Development” and, most recently, “Barry,” for which he won his first prime-time Emmy. And he’s authored scores of children’s books. Now, he’s written a new memoir called “Being Henry…The Fonz and Beyond.” The PBS NewsHour’s John Yang sat down with Winkler to discuss all the parts of his career, but he also did a lightning round of questions on a variety of topics.
