Paul Reubens, actor best known as Pee-wee Herman, dies from cancer at 70

[anonymoose2]

Anyone know if PC got this actor/comedian?

Just seems to fit.

6 years with cancer and most common age group.

I think he was in that high risk group also.

I thought the same. I saw Pee Wee’s Playhouse in 1981 in Hollywood. So crazy but fun!

According to TMZ, "Reubens was first diagnosed with a brain tumor six years ago. The tumor was removed surgically at the time; the specific type of cancer that ultimately took Reubens' life has not been made public."

Caught Red Handed.

Shortly after Reubens brought his infamous child-like character to television in 1986 with Pee-wee's Playhouse, the actor was arrested at an adult theatre in Sarasota, Florida, for indecent exposure.

In July 1991, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Department raided the South Trail Cinema. Upon busting into the adult film house, three men were arrested for indecent exposure. A fourth, Reubens, was arrested for allegedly openly masturbating in the theatre.

Reubens was at the peak of his Pee-Wee Herman success when the incident took place. The late actor allegedly tried to have his charges reduced by offering to come dressed as his famous character to a children's benefit, which officers denied.

To avoid going to trial, Reubens pleaded no contest to indecent exposure charges.

Reubens later claimed in a 2010 interview for Playboy that he was not touching himself — and said he had experts to back up his claims.

Reubens, who was right-handed, claimed officers said he was touching himself with his left hand at the adult theatre.

"Had we gone to trial, we had ready an expert from the Masters and Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research on masturbation, the institute had never found one person who masturbated with his or her non-dominant hand," Reubens said at the time.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Quick reaction by the lawmen made that cinema more family-friendly.

[Sandy752 in reply to dhccpa]

Article says it was an "adult film house." I would hope families would not be going there.

[dhccpa in reply to Sandy752]

Exactly

[anonymoose2 in reply to j-o-h-n]

You might say one time in his life it was a stroke of genius 😆

[j-o-h-n in reply to anonymoose2]

Yep I'd have to hand it to him.....and he had the nerve to call himself Pee Wee.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[garyjp9 in reply to j-o-h-n]

My non-dominant hand could have been a ticket to fame and fortune with Masters and Johnson. No one ever tells us these things until too late ........

[garyjp9 in reply to j-o-h-n]

In that case, I could have been a famous research subject for them, back in the day.

[j-o-h-n in reply to garyjp9]

You "could have been a contender".......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Well for millions of years men have been Mastering their Johnsons with either hand....and so far no complains......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I read brain.

[anonymoose2 in reply to Vangogh1961]

Link?

[tn12]

Why would you assume it was PC? Because he was male and 70 yrs old??? Sigh..

[anonymoose2]

Educated guess

You know the duck analogy don’t you?

[GAdrummer]

I thought the wording of the announcement "private battle" very suggestive. What other kind of cancer could be considered unmentionable?

[anonymoose2]

In time all things come out. Privacy is paramount I totally understand.

He lead a very provocative life what I’ve read.

Long read but breaks down a perversion life style.

More on it if googled

[Lewellen]

Poor paul, dead of cancer.Since I do have prostate cancer, yeah, I'm curious if he had it too. If he did die of prostate cancer, maybe he was one of our anonymous Brothers here on this site.

Other than admiration for his work, the rest I'm happy to leave to TMZ, which I do not watch.

Rip Paul.

Rest in Good humor Brother

Worry about yourself

[pilot52]

He can now rest with Large Marge,,,he was one funny dude...better look in the mirror hard and I mean real hard before we insinuate,,,have fun

[anonymoose2 in reply to pilot52]

I’m not insinuating, just reading from the police records. The man was arrested for child porn at his home like thousands of individuals are every year. It’s a crime. He has to stand before his maker I’m going to leave the judging to him. Thanks for the warning pilot52
