Pee-wee Herman was a character so beloved that people often confused him with his creator/portrayer, the late Paul Reubens (1952-2023). Pee-Wee is an exuberant childlike persona who can be selfish and bratty, but is unafraid of being bold and encountering the odd and the weird.

In 1985, he wrote and starred in the feature film PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, which gave a major launch to not only Reubens’s career, but that of the movie’s director, Tim Burton. […]Read On »
