Winkler was born in the West Side of Manhattan, New York City, New York, the son of Ilse Anna Marie Winkler and Harry Irving Winkler, a lumber company president. Winklers Jewish parents emigrated from Berlin, Germany to the United States in 1939, on the eve of World War II.

His father smuggled the only assets the family had left, family jewels, in a box of chocolate that he carried under his arm.
