Henry Winkler, beloved for playing Fonzie on Happy Days, struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia and was unfairly labeled “stupid” and “lazy” as a child. Reading was a daily challenge, with words seeming to move on the page, while teachers and even his parents misunderstood his difficulties. Despite these obstacles, he relied on his memory and talent to attend Yale School of Drama and land his iconic role, discovering he had dyslexia at age 31. Winkler later won Emmy Awards, earned a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and co-wrote children’s books featuring a boy with dyslexia to inspire young readers.
