Henry Winkler played the coolest person on television. Arthur Fonzarelli. on Happy Days. On that show, he could get any girl he wanted, was feared and respected by everyone and epitomized cool . That was in 1976. In 2018, Nothing changed with him.  While he is no longer on Happy Days, he still does acting and is an accomplished author. He has a lot of fans that love him and when he speaks publicly, it’s about how he overcame dyslexia and shyness to become the coolest person on the planet. He is in Philadelphia until Sunday, May  20, 2018  at Wizard World and he wants to meet you. In person he could not be nicer. In Yiddish, he would be called a Mench.   Winkler is not the only person there.
