Paul Reubens

 

Actor Paul Reubens died this week.  Cancer.  70.  He was best known as Pee Wee Herman, television and movie star.

Reubens was more than Pee Wee.  Check out his list of credits.  Comedy.  Drama.  Animation.  He did it all, and his appearances on "Murphy Brown" especially memorable.  You should also check out Reubens' appearances with David Letterman.

Yes, he had some issues, too.

While the Pee Wee persona was front and center, and occasionally wildly inventive and funny, my overwhelming sentiment was "a little Pee Wee went a long way."  It didn't take me long before I spun the dial.
