Paul Reubens, the creator of “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse,” who starred in several projects as the goofy, child-like Pee-Wee Herman, has died at age 70, his estate said on Monday.
“A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend,” said his estate in an Instagram post.

The actor writes in a posthumous statement that he was privately battling cancer for six years

Sad. I miss your play house days. I can’t say much about your post movie theatre days though.

That's a shame. His Christmas special is an annual event at our house and we still love "Pee-Wee's Playhouse."

"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" is a classic and I'm partial to "Mystery Men" although I think I'm in the minority on that one.

RIP.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

Never got to meet him.

Sad to see him go.

Rest in peace. You always made me laugh, and I will always think of you whenever I hear or see the word tequila.

My wife and I just finished rewatching "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" for the umpteenth time. I know that not everyone got Pee Wee or appreciated the humor.

For those of us that do... damn that movie is hilarious.
