Here is the FULL Photo NOT CROPPED with Gary Marshall

(This version is probably the best one I’ve found- not cropped)
“We got word that John Lennon wanted to come by and bring his son Julian, and he was a big Fonzie fan. I managed to sneak in a picture. He was graciously cool, but mostly it was for his kid, which we all really appreciated.” -Ron Howard

“YES the fab photo of John Lennon and his wonderful son Julian is VERY real and an outstanding memory AND what a day it was” -Henry Winkler (who later saw Julian again in 1985)

“Well, it was the first year of the show and we were a minor hit at the time. It was early morning, we were just filming some kitchen scenes. Ron Howard was there, Donny Most, Henry and myself and a guest star. It was just a normal day, I go over to grab a cup of coffee, a big ol’ tin, and I see this guy and like a 10 year old kid. He looks really familiar, hmmm. So, go back to the guys and I said, ‘There’s a man and a kid, the man looks like John Lennon.’ ‘Oh get out of here!’ I know! I mean, it’s gotta be a grip or something. It’s John Lennon! With his son Julian, who was 10 years old at the time. He was a fan of the ’50s, fan of ‘Happy Days’ brought his son down and spent the entire day on the set. He was so kind, so gentle and shy. Absolutely, truly shy, so kind. He spent the entire 12 hours on the set until we wrapped. He was doing doodles for the crew, personal things like this. But do we get one? Oh no, we’re professionals! We’re too cool, oh no no no. Could’ve bought a house today! He was such a wonderfully, honestly, humble guy. It was surreal. It was surreal to have that opportunity.” -Anson Williams

That is an amazing photo... who was the shy and gentle guy, John or Julian?!

Who isn't a Fonz fan? The show was a classic all around.

Quick correction to antman67. That’s not Garry Marshall it’s director Jerry Paris. You Dick Van Dyke Show fans will recognize him. I’m not sure who’s to the right of Jerry.
