Stacey Weitzman Age, education and youth
Stacey Cooper Furstman was born on November 15, 1947 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her father worked in private practice, while her mother was a nurse.
When she was young, she attended a dance school and wanted to study fashion design at university. Yet her father persuaded her to study economics and business at the University of Northern California. After graduating, she went to New York, where she met her first husband, entertainment attorney Howard Weitzman in 1968, and after a brief affair, the couple married on October 19, 1969. The couple welcomed a son, Jed Weitzman, in 1971, but their marriage did not last long and the couple divorced in 1976.
Relationship with Winkler
Stacey met her future second husband, Henry Winkler later that year, at Jerry Magnin’s clothing store in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, which was her public relations client company.
By then, Henry was already the star of the series “Happy Days” – apparently, when they met, it was love at first sight. Stacey moved in with him five months later, moving into his Hollywood Hills home with her four-year-old son, Jed, and dogs Amanda and Percy, both Yorkies. On May 5, 1978, the couple were married in the Manhattan Synagogue where, years before, Henry had celebrated his bar mitzvah. Their first daughter Zoe Winkler was born in 1980, while their son Max Daniel was born on August 18, 1983. Although they grew up in Hollywood, these two famous kids had remarkably normal upbringings.
Zoe became a preschool teacher, Jed Weitzman grew up to be a musical talent manager, and Max followed his father into the entertainment industry as a film and television director and screenwriter.
