From failure to Fonz. Actor Winkler aims to inspire (Reuters)

Henry Winkler, seen in this handout photo, won international fame for playing the ultrar-cool auto mechanic Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli in the sitcom that ran from 1974 to 1984 with his motorcycle, leather jacket and thumbs-up gesture becoming television icons. After a lifetime of struggling with dyslexia, Winkler put pen to paper in 2003 with co-author Lin Oliver and recreated himself as Hank Zipzer, a smart fourth grader with learning difficulties but a great sense of humor and adventure.
