Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman Actor, Dies at 70
Paul Reubens, the actor best known for portraying Pee-wee Herman, died Sunday night after a private bout of cancer. He was 70. “Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’…
My favorite role of his was the one-off character he played in 30 Rock: Prince Gerhardt Hapsburg
That role was apparently written specifically for him, so I'll send him off with the line they used in the episode:
"Ze Hapsburg line...has ended. You can pick up your gift bags at ze coat check"
18The big adventure comes to an end 😔
13Pee-wee, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Bozo, and Reading Rainbow are some of my fondest memories; when we were all Pee-wees, and he was Herman.
13RIP, you silly, silly man 😢
12Imagine what his career could have been had we not been so repressed
9Can't believe he was 70
8Me either. You're as old as you let yourself be.

RIP to a legend. Just one snip from the article:
Influenced by vintage kids’ shows like “Captain Kangaroo,” the artistically groundbreaking “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” won several Emmys and featured colorful postmodernist set design and music from New Wave icons like Mark Mothersbaugh, Cyndi Lauper and the Residents, along with guest stars including Laurence Fishburne, Natasha Lyonne and Jimmy Smits.
How long has Natasha Lyonne been acting? Every time I think I know what her earliest role was, I read something like this and find out she was actually even younger when she started acting.
8Todays word of the day is crying 😭
7Damn. I’m 40 now and all these guys I remember from youth are dead. Except for Pauly Shore.
3Heard any bad news lately?
