(August 19, 2008)—Dozens of people lined the Milwaukee River in downtown Milwaukee Tuesday for the unveiling of a bronze statue of the “Happy Days” character Arthur Fonzarelli.
Actor Henry Winkler stroked his hair and smiled as he inspected the life-size, bronze statue, which shows the Fonz smiling and giving his signature two thumbs up.
Most of the cast was on hand Tuesday, along with the show's creator, director and producer Garry Marshall and actors Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams from the spin-off "Laverne & Shirley."
Milwaukee joins at least six other cities around the nation that have erected statues of classic television or movie characters.
