Live webchat with Henry Winkler on Monday 6th July at 9pm (GMT)

[RachelMumsnet]

We're delighted to welcome Mr Henry Winkler (aka The Fonz) to Mumsnet for a live webchat from his home in LA. Henry has transformed his own experiences of struggling through school with unidentified dyslexia into a great series of books for kids; 'Hank Ziper: The World's Greatest Underachiever'. As well as telling us about his books, Henry will be chatting about his own experiences with dsylexia, his recent tour of UK schools and of course dancing around the juke box at Arnold's Restaurant. If you can't join us on the day, post your advance questions here.

Am watching Weezer now - had forgotten all about it!

Henry - if Happy Days was re-done, who would play your part? As if....

but but he types like her

franny, that would be the stealth reveal to end them all

i love arrested dev.
henry how much money will you get when i buy the box set that your presence has just reminded me dh NEEDS for his next birthday?

Whoa!

My question is: were you close enough to Ron Howard to tell him he was naming his kids ker-azee names?

can i please draw your attention to the question about happy days gossip, Henry?
Esp Marion. We need to know about Marion

lol at expat/hw confusion. i see it, frank, i do.

gosh this is exciting. if we get brian cant on now i'll die happy.

franny- I was just about to say- yes- he spaces out his lines just like she does
You are v naughty!

oh bugger ds3 is here too now

henry - did any of your children Not Sleep?

Several answers:

One of my favorite things to do here in America or in the UK is to visit schools and talk directly to the kids.

I am very honest about my journey.

And they are very warm with their interest and with sharing their stories.

It touches me deep in my heart.

We are all the same.

I am 63 and sometimes when the children are asking me questions, it is so evident that we share the same experience.

Hi Henry, have you enjoyed performing in theatre more or less than you did filming on tv?

p.s did you keep all of the leather jackets and do you still wear them?

Fantastic, at the scene all being made up. It YOU were excellent.

brian CANT
what are you DOING to my pulse rate ladies

Henry: What has been your proudest moment as a dad?

Aitch- Brian Cant is my hero!

(aside to franny....and jonny ball???)

63? Never

They say Brian Cant.

I say he can.

Get outta town, you're 63?! OMG. And here I was shocked to find out my other crush, Alan Rickman is also in his 60s.

And to think, I almost shut down my laptop to go dye all the grey out of my hair.

Ron Howard:

He named his children after the places they were concieved.

He asked Stacey and I to be the godparents of all of them if God forbid anything happened to Ron or Cheryl.

They both said we could Bar Mitzvah them if we wanted to. Just take them.

And they're not Jewish.

Marion:

Truly one of the great women of the 21st century.

Smart. Warm. Intuitive. Feisty. Lusty. And Funny.

I had lunch with her two Mondays ago.

On the set of Happy Days, if I needed wisdom, I went directly to her.

When you learn your lines do you have a specific learning strategy to help? Did anyone help you or did you just get on with it yourself?

Sorry 3rd and last qeustion, I have worked a lot with dyslexic children and one had the coloured glasses which helped but I also found that she learnt in a different way to the rest of the class and was very frustrated when the teacher told her she had to do it his way even though she struggled but we found a way that she could understand. Basically what I am saying is how can teachers help dyslexics better?

BRIAN CANT?

oh good grief

you have the king of cool here and you start wittering on about Brian Cant
