Was he also not a sexual deviant / bit of a nonce ?

Polished his trumpet it a jazz cinema.

In March 2004, child pornography charges were dropped in exchange for Reubens's guilty plea to a lesser misdemeanor obscenity charge. For the next three years, he was required to register his address with the sheriff's office, and he could not be in the company of minors without the permission of their parent or legal guardian.[30]

Reubens later stated that he was a collector of erotica, including films, muscle magazines, and a sizable collection of mostly homosexual vintage erotica,[2] such as photographic studies of teen nudes.[30] Reubens said that what the city attorney's office viewed as pornography he considered to be innocent art, and that what they described as people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation was, in fact, a judgmental point of view. Reubens described the nude images as people "one hundred percent not" performing sexual acts.[30]

As per with LR’s RIP threads I didn’t know who they were so looked forward to reading the comments to give me an insight.

I wasn’t expecting this one so therefore pissed myself laughing probably more than I should have 🤣
Peewee even got a little love heart!

But was he really a genius?

Pee Wee's Big Adventure is a movie I love, brilliant silliness. Dunno about Comic Genius, unique though.

Seems to have been rehabilitated after his moment of madness. Well liked and supported by many stars. Unfortunately this included Bill Cosby :facepalm:


A bit obscure for the British viewer perhaps, Lenny? ???

Until i reached post #13 with the photo of him, all the time I was reading the thread I had a picture of Emo Philipps in my head as I thought thats who the thread was about.
At least its nice to learn he's not a sexual deviant / bit of a nonce

Wasn’t he a nonce ?
No, he wasn’t. He was arrested for public indecency being caught masturbating in a “cinema” showing pornos. He was vilified not because of the crime, but because the behaviour was so unexpected from the character he portrayed on television. He was extremely harshly treated and there was never any suggestion of serious sexual offences occurring. He basically had a wank in a jazz house along with 99% of the punters, unfortunately for him he was shopped.

I think Pee Wee Herman as a character had a bigger impact on US culture than in the UK, and he was shackled by/exploited to the max that character's success. Made a lot of guest appearances in movies tv shows as Pee Wee. But stepping away from Pee Wee, he played the father of The Penguin in Batman Returns, the waiter in Blues Brothers, the Spleen in Mystery Men, Amilyn in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie). Max (the voice of the ship) in Flight of the Navigator, as well as a long list of other TV voice rolls (including rugrats, phineas and ferb, robot chicken, the smurfs, batman cartoons, star wars rebels)

Just reading about his other arrest for collecting erotica
