Early this week the tragic information got here that Paul Reubens handed away from most cancers after a personal battle. I hated that information as a result of Pee-Wee performed such an enormous a part of my childhood.
Effectively, for these of you questioning how Reubens created his Pee-Wee character, he defined it in a 1981 interview on CNN with Lee Leonard. This was really the very first time that Reubens gave an interview as himself.
Reubens defined how Pee-Wee is a mixture of him and a few different youngsters he knew when rising up. He additionally mentioned his early theater work in Florida and his time with The Groundlings in Los Angeles. This can be a nice must-watch interview should you’re a fan of Reubens and Pee-Wee Herman! Test it out!
