TV icon Henry Winkler, the Fonz, coming to Andover
Aaaaaay! The Fonz is coming!
Henry Winkler, the actor perhaps best known for defining cool as Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on the classic television show "Happy Days," will visit Andover on Mother's Day, May 11, at 2 p.m. for an author's event organized by the Andover Bookstore. Winkler's talk and book signing will be held at Old Town Hall on Main Street.
Winkler will be promoting his "Hank Zipzer" children's book series. The 14th book in the series, "The Life of Me" will be released that week. Hank Zipzer, the series hero, is a fourth-grader pegged as "the world's greatest underachiever" and the stories are inspired by Winkler's childhood.
Tickets go on sale Monday, April 7 at the bookstore for $8, which includes a copy of "The Life of Me." Only 200 tickets will be sold, said John Hugo, manager at the bookstore.
On Mother's Day, Winkler will speak for approximately 15 minutes about his book series, and will be available for autographs and photos afterwards, Hugo said.
Besides his turn as the motorcycle-riding, shark-jumping Fonzarelli, Winkler's more famous roles include turns as a college football coach in the Adam Sandler movie "The Waterboy," and as the Bluth family's lawyer on the TV series "Arrested Development."
