Remembering Pee-wee Herman, who made fans of all ages with his madcap, offbeat adventures in film and television.
I’ve never once driven past the kitschy dinosaur statues on the side of Interstate 10 in Cabazon without thinking of Pee-wee Herman.
But Pee-wee Herman will never really die. With the work Reubens’ created – from the impishly, inappropriately Pee-wee of his birth at the Groundlings comedy troupe in the late ’70s to the more mainstream, and slightly better behaved, Pee-wee of movies such as “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and five seasons of “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” – we’ll always have Pee-wee Herman to make us laugh.
What made the character so wonderful was that Pee-wee wasn’t just one thing or the other, neither boy nor man, but something strangely in-between. The character, and the Emmy Award-winning “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse,” which followed a year later, appealed to kids and adults alike, both of them drawn to Pee-wee for the same or different reasons.
In addition to Pee-wee, the human characters included a variety of well-known faces: Phil Hartman played Captain Carl, Laurence Fishburne was Cowboy Curtis, S. Epatha Merkerson played Reba the Mail Lady, and child actor Natasha Lyonne was one of the kids in the Playhouse Gang.
