Henry Winkler

Just the mention of Happy Days will have fans singing the incredibly catchy theme song of the show that first aired in 1974. Henry Winkler did a fantastic job playing The Fonz, the leading tough guy with a heart of gold.

Winkler and co-star Ron Howard eventually had to file a lawsuit against the network to get the pay they were due after a whopping 255 episodes. They settled on $65,000 to both actors, as well as a moderate amount in residuals.
