an overgrown child with a tight grey suit and an unforgettable laughReubens, who’s character delighted fans in the film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and on the TV series Pee-wee’s Playhouse, died Sunday night after a six-year struggle with cancer that he kept private, his publicist said in a statement.

FILE - Paul Reubens attends the world premiere of "Pee-wee's Big Holiday" during the South by Southwest Film Festival on Thursday, March 17, 2016, in Austin, Texas. Reubens died Sunday night after a six-year struggle with cancer that he did not make public, his publicist said in a statement. A sequel followed three years later in the less well-received Big Top Pee-wee, in which Pee-wee seeks to join a circus. Reubens’ character wouldn’t get another movie starring role until 2016’s Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, for Netflix. Judd Apatow produced Pee-wee’s big-screen revival.

“It’s for kids,” Reubens told The Associated Press in 2010. “People have tried to get me for years to go, ‘It wasn’t really for kids, right?’ Even the original show was for kids. I always censored myself to have it be kid-friendly. “The moment that I realised my name was going to be said in the same sentence as children and sex, that’s really intense," Reubens told NBC in 2004."That’s something I knew from that very moment, whatever happens past that point, something’s out there in the air that is really bad.”
