Well it doesn’t mean he isn’t stupid or lazy. Just saying.

It doesn’t, but he’s not known for being a carouser or partier. He’s a quiet Jewish kid from Manhattan.

That doesn’t make him smart but it does sound like he may be a bit lazy. Just saying.

He has 200 credits as actor and producer. And his main role, as the Fonz, only counts as one credit. He’s not lazy, imo.
But he is saying that he was on his own because his teachers thought he was lazy.

He has had a life-long problem that was poorly understood when he was young. He overcame it enough that although he still struggled he had a successful career. Why would a conservative snipe at anyone like that?

That Winkler was able convert himself from a short, skinny, NY city Jew, to a rough Italian motorcycle gang-brawler, and have us all believe it, was already a great accomplishment.

“Henry Winkler on Growing up Dyslexic in the ’50s: ‘I Was Told I Was Stupid, Lazy’”
Sorry, but he was a TOTAL BAD ASS on Happy Days - a show that shows just how great America USED TO BE, before the Leftists (Ukraine War Supporters) got power.
Very sad now...

Being 4-5 years older than Winkler, I have to say, “Henry, I agree & know the feelings. Well.

There were no leftists before the Ukraine War?
I hope it doesn’t cause him over correct and to throw all caution to the wind and attempt to jump over a shark on water skis

They existed, but were consigned to the ‘University System’. It was only relatively recently that they seized political power, particularly with their financing from the Nazi Collaborator.

There was a dyslexic atheist with insomnia.
He’d lay awake at night wondering if there was a dog.
