Many people would be surprised to learn that Henry Winkler and his wife almost never saw each other again after their first meeting in a clothing store, despite having three children and a loving 44-year marriage.
Henry Winkler is best known for his role as Arthur Fonzarelli on “Happy Days,” but he should also be recognized for his loving marriage to Stacey. It’s difficult to believe that the two almost never went on their first date…
Most people are familiar with Henry Winkler because of the iconic roles he has played throughout his long career. Most notably, Winkler is remembered for his portrayal of Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli in “Happy Days,” a character who is still widely referenced in popular culture today.
When Stacey and Henry met, they were both working as public relations consultants for a clothing store that was a client of Stacey’s firm. Henry asked Stacey for help while looking for a sport coat, and the rest is history.
“She was wearing purple parachute pants, and she had red hair, and without her even saying a word, I thought, ‘Woah, beautiful woman standing in front of me,’” Henry said of their first meeting. When I returned to the store the following week, she was still there. And I found out how strong she is in 10 minutes.”
