The Beginning of a Beautiful Journey

Henry and Stacey’s love story began in the bustling city of Los Angeles in the '70s. Picture this: Henry, the up-and-coming star of Barry, was shopping for a sport coat at a local store, which just happened to be one of Stacey’s PR clients. He struck up a conversation with her while seeking advice on his purchase. When he returned to pick up the jacket, he mustered the courage to ask her out, and the rest, as they say, is history.

A Family Grows

After dating for a while, the couple tied the knot on May 5, 1978. Their love blossomed further when they welcomed their first child, daughter Zoe Emily Winkler, born in 1980, just two years after their wedding. Their son, Max Winkler, followed in 1983. Stacey also brought her son Jed Weitzman, from a previous relationship, into the family, making them a blended family full of love and support.

Stacey’s Hidden Talents

While Stacey chose to focus on raising her children, giving them a normal upbringing away from the Hollywood glitz, she’s no stranger to the acting world. According to IMDb, she lent her voice to a character on As Told by Ginger and even played a role in The Touch. Her dedication to her family and career is truly inspiring.

Facing Challenges Together

Love isn’t always easy, and this couple faced their fair share of challenges. In 1998, Stacey was diagnosed with breast cancer, but thanks to her strong spirit and Henry’s unwavering support, she quickly went into remission. Unfortunately, the cancer returned in 2001, leading to a double mastectomy. But Stacey’s resilience shone through, and she's been living cancer-free ever since. In fact, she looked radiant when she joined Henry at the 2019 Emmy Awards.
