Ron Howard reveals why anxiety over 'Happy Days' character Fonzie led to hair loss: ‘I kept everything inside'
Fox News
In his new book, Ron Howard explains what caused so much anxiety during the early run of "Happy Days."
"I didn’t handle my stress particularly well," he writes. "I probably would have benefited from seeing a psychotherapist … Instead, I kept everything inside. Then I started breaking out in eczema rashes all over my body, most acutely on my eyelids … And my hair started thinning. Looking at the men on both sides of my family, I knew it was inevitable … But it started coming out in alarming clumps during this time."
It all worked out. Series creator Garry Marshall told Ron he wouldn’t change the show’s title if he "didn’t support it" (he didn’t) and "Happy Days" enjoyed a fruitful run from 1974 to 1984, spawning two classic spinoffs ("Mork & Mindy" and "Laverne & Shirley") and one turkey ("Joanie Loves Chachi"), while bonding Howard and Winkler as lifelong friends. (They reunited for the 1982 big-screen comedy "Night Shift," which Ron directed.)
