I still remember when I was in school and Happy Days was the one show all us kids watched, and then talked about the next day. Years later I met Winkler when I was working at an art gallery in LA. He was easy to talk to, really put people at ease just like you were talking to a neighbor. I guess you could say - he was cool.

He told KABC he is donating much of the proceeds of the sale to a non-profit his daughter Zoe started with two friends that helps separated and recently reunited families at the US border.

green plaid coat in his closet. It was the only one.
Of course, he didn’t wear it in every scene for 10 years.

Archie’s chair is in the Smithsonian.

This was years ago. I'm not sure if it's still on display or in storage. There are a couple of generations who wouldn't know who Archie Bunker was.

Henry's straight up, I don't think he'd offer something that didn't have real value.

The story says at least 7 were purchased during the run of the show, which makes sense to me, considering how long it was on the air.

Scott Baio would donate golf clubs. He hosts a charity golf tournament every year that benefits HIS foundation.
