| August 31, 2008 |  View for printing |
It has been three decades since Henry Winkler became a pop-culture icon, thanks to his scene-stealing portrayal of the Fonz on "Happy Days." These days, the actor has a whole new generation of fans, thanks to his "Hank Zipzer: The World's Greatest Underachiever" series of children's books. Hank, an irrepressible fourth-grader, deals with dyslexia, bullies and a potential love interest in the latest installment — "The Life of Me: Enter at Your Own Risk" ($5.99, Gosset & Dunlap).
"The books are basically stories of my life when I was a kid," says Winkler, who's dyslexic. "Henry Winkler . . . Hank Zipzer. I wasn't that original when it came time to naming the boy in the book!" An avid fisherman, Winkler, 62, marries his love of nature and photography when he goes away on vacation. Though he has traveled around the world, Winkler talks about why Montana never fails to take his breath away.
