November 10, 2006 Henry gave an interview for TVLegends and mentions Heather Rourke. Interesting because I wonder if he is "misremembering" is confused or actually leaked information NEVER known to the public?

Reason I says this becuase at 23:50 shown here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP6CQbcT4Pk
the interview woman asks about the episode "Fonzie getting married" Henry states he was marrying actress Linda Pearl but this episode ACTUALLY takes place in Season 2 Episode 29 which aired January 14, 1975 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0596203/ you can clearly lookup the actress character "Maureen" was NOT played by Linda Purl and did NOT become Fonzies girlfriend until Season 9 (1981–82).

Then Henry talks about Heather O'Rourke commiting suicide? And being tortured by her father and she used to pull her eyelashes out in private in stress as a sign of abuse. Or dided from bad flu?

But the Internet says:
O'Rourke became ill in early 1987 and was misdiagnosed by doctors at Kaiser Permanente Hospital as having Crohn's disease. She was prescribed prednisone to treat the disease, which caused her cheeks to appear puffy and large.
On January 31, 1988, O'Rourke suddenly became ill again, vomiting and unable to swallow. The next morning she collapsed while preparing to leave for the hospital and her stepfather called paramedics.
O'Rourke suffered a cardiac arrest en route to the hospital, and after resuscitation she was airlifted by helicopter to Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, where she died later that day.

Speaking to reporters, O'Rourke's manager David Wardlow initially announced that it was believed she died of influenza.
However, hospital spokesman Vincent Bond announced that O'Rourke died during surgery to repair an acute bowel obstruction (caused by congenital stenosis of the intestine) complicated by septic shock; this report was corroborated by the San Diego County coroner's office on February 3, two days after her death.
Later reports changed the specific cause of death to cardiac arrest caused by septic shock brought on by the intestinal stenosis.
