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. |
