Henry Winkler confesses the simple secret to his five decades of successful parenting
Henry Winkler is sharing wisdom he's gained from five decades of parenting. The "Happy Days" star appeared on the "Today" show this week, where he was shown a surprise Father's Day video message from his children that he admitted left him feeling "so emotional." In the video, his daughter Zoe, 45, said, "The way you were raised and in the household you came from, where you weren't allowed to be yourself and you weren't allowed to question or speak your mind. You did the exact opposite, and you raised us in the most loving home where we could be ourselves." "Fifty years of incredible memories, which is unbelievable," Jed, Winkler's wife's son from a previous marriage, noted, while son Max, 41, said, "I wish you the happiest, happiest Father's Day, and I love you so much." When the video finished playing, Winkler was seen tearing up as he profusely thanked the team who put the clips of his children together. "Today" host Jenna Bush Hager, who was so touched that she began crying herself, asked him, "What did you do to raise such beautiful children?" "I'm going to tell you now, I think that the center of all relationships … is the ear," he answered. "It is not how you meant it, it is how it landed. It's how it's heard." He continued, "And I was never able to say anything. I never had a point of view growing up … and my children could say what was on their mind." Winkler has spoken in the past about the difficulties he faced growing up. His parents, two Jewish immigrants who had fled Nazi Germany for New York City, were very hard on him. As he explained last year on the "How To Fail" podcast with host Elizabeth Day, he doesn't think "strict" was the proper term to describe them – he said that he was a strict parent himself, but his own parents "did not see me … my parents did not acknowledge who I was as a human being." He acknowledged that they "went through a trauma," but said "They literally saw me as an extension to making them grander. I had to do well. If I didn't do well, I embarrassed them. That is a tragedy, it is one of the no-nos of being a parent – you have to see the child in front of you, you have to hear the child in front of you … if you see your child is having a problem, it is your job to make sure you don't let that child's self-image plummet to the bottom of the ocean." WATCH: HENRY WINKLER SAYS DAUGHTER 'USED ME LIKE A GARDEN TOOL' GROWING UP Although he didn't have a name for it until he was an adult, Winkler struggled with dyslexia throughout his childhood, and he continues to struggle with it. In 2020, he told Howard Stern that his parents called him the German word for "dumb dog." When he became a father, he admitted, "I didn't know if I could be a parent, I just knew that I was duty-bound, and I was going to get this right. Of course, you know you never get it right … you try."

Henry Winkler Shares His Life's Greatest Thrill as He Examines Danger and Fun in 'Hazardous History' (Exclusive)
From The Fonz to Gene Cousineau, Henry Winkler has played many characters that dabble with danger Speaking with PEOPLE about his new History Channel series, Hazardous History with Henry Winkler, Winkler looks back at his own thrilling moments in life The new series, which premieres Sunday, June 15, tells the stories of the things people did for fun, for money, or out of plain boredom that cannot be done anymoreHenry Winkler isn't a thrill seeker, but he certainly knows a lot about adventure. Speaking with PEOPLE about his new History Channel series, Hazardous History with Henry Winkler, the actor, 79, opens up about one of his life's most thrilling moments. Of daredevil-like, adrenaline-inducing behavior, Winkler says, "I channel it only when I'm acting." "I am not a thrill seeker," he admits. "I am thrilled... I remember years ago, with my children who are now in their 40s and 50s, I remember being on a chair life in Utah with them, traveling up and over the tops of snow-covered pine trees." "[I was] thinking this might be one of the most beautiful moments I have ever had. That's my thrill," he adds. When Winkler was first introduced to the idea of the show by Eli Lehrer at The History Channel, he says, "I knew from the first description that this was right up my alley." "One of the people I spoke to on my radio tour today was talking about nostalgia. And I said, 'It has nothing to do with nostalgia.'" Laughing, Winkler explains, "I think the subtitle of this show is, 'Wait, we allowed that to happen?'" "It's just mind-blowing all the different subjects in every area," he continues. "You could mail your child through the post office to his grandparents. One thing that so many people of the generation have mentioned to me as I talk to them are jarts. Those land darts, the garden darts that you would throw high in the air and they would land in your best friend's foot." While Winkler wasn't playing with too many dangerous toys in his days, he was well aware his peers were getting into all kinds of interesting situations. "My parents were frugal on toys. I used to get practical gifts that I could wear to school," he explains. "But the toys I heard about... The man, A.C. Gilbert, who invented the Erector Set. He also came out with his wonderful science kits. One of them had radioactive uranium in the kit, so you could make your own atomic cloud. That's pretty nuts." Each 60-minute episode of Hazardous History tells the stories of the things people did for fun, for money, or out of plain boredom that cannot be done anymore. From pastimes, practices, and products that were once allowed, or even encouraged, it's likely they'll never be seen again in modern America — and the show shares some of those exciting, reckless, unsupervised tales in Americana history. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Hazardous History with Henry Winkler premieres Sunday, June 15 at 10 p.m. ET on The History Channel. Read the original article on People

'Happy Days' Star Ron Howard Reveals Why There's No Chance of a Reboot—Ever
Happy Days will be staying in the past, according to original series star Ron Howard. The actor-turned mega movie director and producer told People magazine that there will never be a revival of the iconic sitcom that ran for 11 seasons, from 1974 to 1984. Howard, 71, who got his start on TV as a child actor on The Andy Griffith Show, played Richie Cunningham for seven seasons on the beloved ABC sitcom Happy Days. His co-stars Henry Winkler, Anson Williams, Tom Bosley, and Marion Ross stayed for the full run of the series. But Howard told People there is no chance of bringing the show back in any form because he's satisfied that it's still on the air decades later. "It's amazing, but we're not doing a reboot," Howard said. "The fact that the show endures, and that The Andy Griffith Show is still on — both of these shows have never left the air — and it kind of blows my mind in an interesting way. There's something about that that doesn't age — it was nostalgia when it was made. For that reason, [both shows] seem to endure, and it means the world to me." Even if Howard were on board, a reboot would be tricky. Several main Happy Days stars, including Bosley and Erin Moran, have passed away. In early 2025, Howard reunited with three other original Happy Days stars — Winkler, Williams, and Don Most— at the Steel City Con for a panel in Pennsylvania. It was the first time the four Happy Days stars appeared together in public in 50 years, Winkler told the audience.'Happy Days' Star Ron Howard Reveals Why There's No Chance of a Reboot—Ever first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 2, 2025
