RIP, Paul Reubens

Actor-comedian Paul Reubens has passed away at the age of 70. The actor was battling cancer for the past many years. Reubens created his iconic Pee-wee Herman character when he was a member of the famed Los Angeles improvised troupe The Groundlings, which also gave early homes to stars like Kristin Wiig, Lisa Kudrow, Maya Rudolph, and Kathy Gryphon.

In 1985’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, directed by Tim Burton, Reubens brought Pee-wee Herman to the big screen amid the character’s ongoing success. Pee-wee’s Playhouse, which aired on CBS for five seasons between 1986 and 1990, was later created by him. Reubens was honoured with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in 1988.
