Can't recognized Pee Wee? Here's a good old mug shot of him when he was arrested.
[H1]Pee-wee Herman[/H1] [H2]aka Paul Reubens[/H2]
Face it, Paul will always be known as Pee-wee. Following the 1991 arrest, Pee-wee became an unperson.
Playhouse reruns were yanked, Pee-wee's star was taken off the Hollywood Walk of Fame (actually this is just urban legend, but consider it repeated here as fact), and his wax likeness in the
Los Angeles Movieland Wax Museum melted down for the sake of moral purity.
