Entertainment Now | March 25 - 31, 2023 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I swear I see a resem- blance between the Fonz and Det. Munch from "Law & Or- der," but I know it's not the same guy. Are they brothers? A: The timing of your question is sadly apt. Henry Winkler, who came to fame playing Arthur Fon- zarelli on "Happy Days," was among the celebrities leading trib- utes to his cousin Richard Belzer after he died on Feb. 19. Belzer is, as you say, best known for playing John Munch on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and several other shows. Indeed, his character created an unofficial "Munch-iverse" that united sever- al disparate shows, including "Ho- micide: Life on the Street" (where the character first appeared), sci-fi drama "The X-Files," sitcom "Ar- rested Development" and three versions of "Law & Order." The longevity and recognizabili- ty of the character was helped by the fact that Belzer never seemed to age. If you see him on one of his early TV appearances, such as his few early turns on "Saturday Night Live" in the mid-'70s, and then see him again as recently as last year on "Law & Order: SVU," you'd find it hard to believe nearly 50 years had passed in between. Whereas Winkler had to age into his resemblance with his cous- in. After largely going quiet in the '80s and '90s, he's been enjoying a career resurgence in the 2000s, but doing so involved shedding his teen-heartthrob looks. The now silver-haired Winkler has had a number of critically ac- claimed roles in recent years, in- cluding on the aforementioned "Arrested Development," though he and Belzer never shared a scene. Q: I heard a casual reference recently about James Dean's old car being cursed. What's that about and, well, is it true? A: Sadly, I'm not qualified to say if James Dean's Porsche 550 Spy- der is, in fact, cursed. I can only of- fer some facts and let you decide for yourself. The central fact is, of course, that James Dean ("Rebel Without a Cause," 1955) died in it. He crashed it in September 1955 on a treacherous stretch of California highway, en route to a race. It's re- membered as one of the most iconic gone-too-soon deaths in Hollywood history and a true-life tragedy. Alas, Dean's death wasn't the only one tied to his car. Parts of it were used by two other racing drivers who crashed, one fatally. 4 | Saturday morning 03/25 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 S1 S2 WTTV 4 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog Innovation Nation Mission Hope in the Wild Lucky Dog Did I Mention Paid Programming Paid Programming 4 4 WRTV 6 WRTV Week In Review (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Retirement Hearts of Heroes Free Enterprise Paid Programming Vets Saving Pets Hearts of Heroes 6 6 @ WPTA WPTA Saturday Morning News II (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Wildlife Nation oh baby!
