Pee-wee Herman
Pee-wee Herman is a comic fictional character created and portrayed by American comedian Paul Reubens. He is best known for his films and television series during the 1980s. The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. As the stage performance gained further popularity, Reubens took the character to motion picture with '' Pee-wee's Big Adventure'' in 1985, toning down the adult innuendo for the appeal of children. This paved the way for '' Pee-wee's Playhouse'', an Emmy Award-winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991. Another film, '' Big Top Pee-wee'', was released in 1988, and after a lengthy hiatus, a third film, '' Pee-wee's Big Holiday'', was released by Netflix in 2016. Due to negative media attention following a scandal in 1991, Reubens decided to shelve his alter ego during the 1990s, then gradually resurrected it during the following decade. It was at that time that Reubens addressed pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Early in his career he played clarinet and saxophones, but he eventually focused solely on clarinet.

Writing in 1961, the poet Philip Larkin commented: "No one familiar with the characteristic excitement of his solos, their lurid, snuffling, asthmatic voicelessness, notes leant on till they split, and sudden passionate intensities, could deny the uniqueness of his contribution to jazz." Early life Pee Wee Russell was born in Maplewood, Missouri, United States, and grew up in Muskogee, Oklahoma. As a child, he first studied violin, but "couldn't get along with it", then piano, disliking the scales and chord exercises, and then ...
