"He seemed a very desperate young man with no one to talk to but one of his TV heroes," says Henry Winkler, who plays the 'Happy Days' character. "It made me feel good to know that I might have saved his life. But I would really like to know what happened to him." Winkler was rehearsing rehear-sing for his hit TV series at the Paramount Studios when he got an urgent phone call from police in Indianapolis. "A police officer told me an 18-year-old man had taken a drug overdose and was threatening to take more pills unless I spoke to him," Winkler says. The star agreed to talk with the desperate youngster and for 40 minutes he kept up a life-or-death conversation as anxious 'Happy Days' colleagues clustered around. "I just told him everything that came into my mind." . . . Actress Linda Kelsey got knocked "about 10 feet into the air" when a van backed into a barricade that had been placed near her during shooting of the 'Lou Grant' TV series. "Her wrist was broken in two places and she bruised some ribs," said her spokesman Esme Chandler. TV BACKSTAGE: Emmy winner Ed Asner tells me his TV life as newspaper executive Lou Grant owes quite a bit to the press. "When we started the series, we weren't that good. It was embarrassing.

'Price Is Right' host Bob Barker reckons he has dished out more than $40 million as a game-show host. But the job has its problems. "I've been kicked, punched and even knocked to the ground by winners," win-ners," he says. . . . Success has turned sour for lovely Victoria Principal. First it cost her husband, and, if he , wins his. claim for alimony and half her fortune, it will cost her millions. Victoria, who plays Bobby Ewing's wife Pamela in the hit series 'Dallas,' is really a tough lady who ; clawed her way to fame and the money it brings. But actor-husband Christopher Skinner, 10 years younger than 32-year-old Victoria, wants half of all her assets, plus alimony, according to friends. And, under California law, he's entitled to it. One source told me, "Victoria is the rich half of the family and the divorce could cost her millions of dollars." That's part of the penalty of big 'Dallas' rewards. "When Larry Hagman began demanding more money Victoria asked for more too," the insider says. "She knows she's essential to the show, so her pay doubled dou-bled to $50,000 a show. That's $650,000 plus a cut of all the spin-off products which probably gives her around a million bucks a year in all. There will be millions more as the show picks up syndication."
