Being Henry: the Fonz...and Beyond by Henry Winkler
Memoir by Henry Winkler, best known for his role as the Fonz on the 1970s sitcom Happy Days. He talks honestly about his dyslexia (unheard of when he was a child), his unhappy childhood with his demanding, social climbing parents, and the consequences that made connecting with his wife and children a constant effort, as well as the difficulty of moving past an iconic role and finding other acting work.
Henry Winkler is reputed to be the nicest man in Hollywood, and this memoir bears that out. Sweet and easy to read. (Note: Henry at 70+ bears a striking resemblance to my best friend from a high school, who is now a retired judge and frequently gets mistaken for the Fonz.)
