ARTHUR “FONZIE” FONZARELLI
Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli (better known as “Fonzie” or “The Fonz”) is a fictional character played by Henry Winkler in the American sitcom Happy Days (1974–1984). He was originally a secondary character, but was soon positioned as a lead character when he began surpassing the other characters in popularity. Happy Days producer and writer Bob Brunner created both Arthur Fonzarelli’s “Fonzie” nickname and his iconic comeback phrase, “Sit on it”. In 1999 TV Guide ranked him number 4 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list. Fonzie first appeared in the first episode of Season 1 and was one of only two characters (along with Howard Cunningham) to appear in all 255 episodes. (More from Wikipedia)
Suzi Quatro was signed by Mickie Most to RAK Records in 1971 and moved to England, where she embarked on a successful solo career. She is the first female bass guitarist to become a rock star. Her albums presented Suzi Quatro alternately as confrontational – Your Mamma Won’t Like Me – and girl-next-door cute – If you Knew Suzi . . .. Suzi Quatro is probably best known to American audiences for her role as Leather Tuscadero on the TV series Happy Days; the character was the younger sister of Fonzie’s girlfriend, Pinky Tuscadero. On occasion, Suzi Quatro gave a musical performance on the TV show.
