Happy Days are here again: Henry Winkler, 78, seen with a copy of his memoir while paying homage to Farrah Fawcett

Happy Days star Henry Winkler looked as youthful as ever as he stepped out in Beverly Hills, his new memoir in hand.

The 78-year-old actor, best known for his role as the cool and carefree Fonzie, was seen leaving Il Pastaio, a fancy Italian eatery, after a two-hour lunch with associates.

Unshaven Winkler was dressed in a casual yet stylish ensemble, consisting of brightly colored braces, red jeans, and a check blue shirt. 

However, the actor appeared to be struggling slightly as he attempted to put on his jacket, adding a touch of relatable charm to his otherwise sophisticated appearance.

As Winkler made his way to his car, he was seen holding a copy of his own memoir, Being Henry Winkler: The Fonz…And Beyond. 

The book, which was released earlier in October last year, has been praised for its candid and humorous account of the actor's life and career.

In addition to his memoir, Winkler was also carrying a bag with the image of Charlie's Angels icon Farrah Fawcett, who died in 2009.

The bag was originally sold by Peace Love Solve, an apparel and lifestyle brand created by philanthropist Marla Garchik to spread autism awareness, acceptance, kindness and inclusion.

The bag is no longer for sale. 

The actor has been enjoying a busy few years, with several new projects in the works. 

Winkler has also been promoting his new children's book Detective Duck: The Case of the Missing Tadpole. 

The story follows a duck detective and her animal companions as they investigate environmental mysteries stemming from human-caused disruptions like water pollution, waste, global warming, and habitat destruction. 

Winkler first came into the public eye when he had a secondary role on the hit 70s show Happy Days as local tough Fonzie.

The character turned out to be so popular, he was made a lead in the series which lasted for 10 years.

Winkler also made appearances in the Adam Sandler comedies The Waterboy and Little Nicky. The versatile star also provided voice work for many animated shows, including Clifford's Puppy Days and Sit Down, Shut Up.

In the 2010s Henry got in front of the camera, charming audiences in comedies such as Parks and Recreation, Royal Pains, Arrested Development and Barry.

The author and actor was able to take part as music teacher Mr. Rock in the Hank Zipzer television series based on his popular books.

Reflecting on lessons he had learned during his life, he told People last year: 'I spent most of my adult life being frightened, on the outside looking like I had it together and mostly being anxious.

'The biggest lesson, I really now believe today in 2023 looking back, is not only must you be tenacious, not only must you be grateful, but you also have to be flexible.'
