Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens has died at age 70 after a private battle with cancer.A quote from Reubens read, “Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years.
“Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.”Reubens’ career as an improvisational comedian and stage actor began in the 1970s when he joined the Los Angeles troupe The Groundlings.
In 1985, Reubens starred in the Tim Burton-directed feature film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”, as well as 1988’s “Big Top Pee-wee”.Reubens’ life and career were not without controversy, however. In 1991, he faced charges of public masturbation when he was allegedly caught in the act at a movie theater in Sarasota, Florida.
