Being Henry: The Fonz . . . and Beyond

Winkler names the woman at the boutique. Her name is Stacey Furstman Weitzman, and she would eventually become his wife of over 40 years. He has Stacey describe her life when she met him. She was a divorced single mother to a four-year-old boy named Jed and worked as an assistant to a publicist named Joan Luther. As the daughter of a renowned and affluent dentist, she was comfortable with famous people. Her friend Joseph Magnin started his own boutique, the one she was in when she met Winkler, and encouraged her to start her own publishing company.

Stacey liked Winkler when she met him. She found him kind and lively, and agreed to have soda with him. They quickly began bonding and he asked if she wanted to see his house. She accepted, and they started seeing each other more, with Winkler meeting Stacey’s son, Jed. They went on a date to see the film Walkabout together, which Winkler saw once before and enjoyed. Stacey was more familiar with Winkler’s fame when they arrived at the theater.

When they returned to her house, a man named Terry that Stacey was seeing before she met Henry appeared in the bushes.
