(Winkler would go on to become thegodfather to Ron’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard.)
In 1976, Weitzman and Winkler first met at a clothing store in Beverly Hills.
It wasn’t long before the other moviegoers spotted the Fonz trying to catch a flick.

Winkler told the outlet, “And the entire theater came over and said hello.
And Stacey said, ‘Oh!'”
The fans evidently weren’t so subtle about their adoration.

“One time I said, ‘You’ve just completely ruined my stockings.’
And this woman said, ‘But I love Fonzie!'”
Luckily for Winkler, Weitzman was not put off by the public’s affection for the TV icon.
