In the first picture Mr. Winkler looks like he's telling the man how great reverse mortgages are.

Glad to hear you had a nice time and that Henry was a nice guy. I've been lucky; the stars I've met have been SUPER SUPER nice (Danny Thomas, Ann Meara, Whoopi Goldberg)

I met Winkler about 10 years ago. Super nice guy. A very gentle soul. I couldn't believe I was talking to one of the biggest TV icons of all time!

He is. I was working on Joan Rivers' reality show in New York and was locking up traffic so we could film Joan's scene outside. A man is walking towards me on the sidewalk. As I ask him to move to the other side of the street. He kindly agrees to do so. I then say thank you....MR. WINKLER??!!! I was totally shocked!!! The entire crew stopped filming to acknowledge and applaud him and then he and Joan hugged and kissed one another and then he went on his way. It was so cool.

I walked right past Henry Winkler in the NYC subway a year or so ago. I didn't bother him, but what does that say about a celebrity that he just takes the subway like everyone else?

That he's too cheap to pay for a taxi?

First of all celeberties are human just like the rest of us and sometimes they are going to have a bad day. Everybody expects them to be some"super hero" just because they are a celeberity. Granted they should be nice to people but they are also human.

That Fonzie money doesn't last forever either. And it's not like he made millions per episode like Seinfeld in today's market. Like he's supposed to have an enterouge around him 24 x 7 like Justin Bieber or something? Cut Henry a break?

Antman67, I could not have said it better myself.
