  1. Good for her. She doesn’t need to hold anyone’s secrets any longer.

  2. It’s true what they say: “Hurt people hurt people”

  4. This is just further evidence that Henry Winkler is a pretty wonderful fellow.

  5. I fucking love Marlee Matlin everyone should read her book

  9. William Hurt’s one of those guys like Ryan O’Neal.

    Meaning after he died seems like most people were like “Good!”

  11. I’ve heard William Hurt was a total dick. Not surprised. Henry Winkler is everything decent about humanity.

  12. I didn’t realize there was such an age difference between Hurt and Matlin. Between that and him being pretty much A list at the time and her being in her first role, that’s predatory.

    And as others have said, everything I’ve heard about Henry Winkler has been positive.

  13. Winkler is the ultimate dude. Self aware, kind beyond understanding and hilarious.

  14. “Smile til your face hurts, dance til your feet hurt, act til you’re William Hurt”- Phil Dunphy

  15. Henry Winkler’s the man. Just met him a couple months ago & he was so polite.

  16. He was an asshole to the Avengers too, even after all they did to save the world.

  17. My guess, it happened during Hurt’s heavy cocaine use. Of course, not a justification.

  18. This isn’t the first time that I have heard that Henry Winkler is a pretty great guy. Must be true!

  20. Man I got John Hurt and William Hurt mixed up in my head and felt awful thinking John Hurt was a bad person

  21. Hey guys, I know this is crazy but let me be the first to say that Henry Winkler seems like a pretty nice guy.

  23. Oh, now Henry Winkler, there’s a father. Listen to what he told a close friend. “I don’t always keep my cool like the Fonz, but my love for my kids has given me plenty of happy days.”
