the disconnect between the US and the UK It's pretty big in this particular case, isn't it? I vaguely remember him as a kind of weird US 'entertainer' who got into trouble showing off his privates about 30 years ago - and now it's all THIS This is really strange..Anyway, the incident of him jacking it in a porno theatre did not define him. On the contrary, he accepted the consequences, changed some things and moved on. Hate that some of the Tweet denizens are bringing it up. Paul was a fiercely unique odd duck, but also a lovely human being. It's why you see the outpouring of affection and sadness Watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure and then check out his other work, like Blow (2001) and Mystery Men (1999) as well as a ton of TV and voice work..(Check his Wiki)..And what the hell, smoke a bowl and watch Pee Wee's Playhouse..It works really well..

I saw it on vhs at the time.

my adult daughter claims that I traumatized her by showing her "Frankenweenie" when she was young. "they wanted to kill the DOG, Dad!!!"

You all really should see Pee Wee's Big Adventure. SO much fun, and virtually un-dated. It did come over to the UK in the late 80s (or whenever it was...can't quite remember), with quite a lot of hype, so it's not like he was unknown here. That said, I don't think it caught on over here. His character didn't do a lot for me I got to say, it seemed to veer between overly cute and creepy, but perhaps that was meant to be the idea.

A very personal eulogy from Conan O'Brien, for anyone interested:
I never knew they were that close.
