| It's funny-- my old roommate has a little Henry Winkler story from a bunch of years ago that is like the polar opposite of your experience. They were about to pass each other on a crowded street. He saw him recognize her-- her eyes lit up-- but before she could say anything he pointed at her & gave her a big joyous wave & said hello. That was it. But it made her day & she was happy to talk about that little NYC encounter for years. Just goes to show that we shouldn't judge these celebrities by one singular encounter. As other people have pointed out, if they come off as "rude" it could be that they are just having a bad day. So just know that Henry Winkler probably isn't the a**hole that you always assumed he was! |

| I have only ever gotten the impression that Henry Winkler is the loveliest, most affable guy. Even at the height of Happy Days fame I've only heard great stories. Jerry Stiller did the same thing to myself and a couple of friends at a cafe downstairs from the Beacon Hotel. It was 1994 and I guess he was at the height of his Seinfeld fame and we sighted him but we were trying to be cool but he caught our gaze and said "Hi, guys! How ya doing?" With some people it might have felt like a deliberately aggressive hello as if to say "You want a piece of me? You want a PIECE of me?!?" (to quote one of his funniest moments) but he just seemed like a genuinely personable mensch. |

| I know a couple people who have seen shows where Winkler was seated around them and each said he was very outgoing and chatty (before the show and at intermission, of course.) Granted, this was in the last 15 years or so, not at the peak of his fame. | |

| It’s his private time and he didn’t want to be bothered. I get it. Same with nimoy, it was intermission and he didn’t want to be bothered on his time off. | |
