Inspired by iconic television shows of the 1950s, Paul Reubens hones his performance art skills at LA's CalArts and The Groundlings, where he creates the alter-ego Pee-wee Herman. When his 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure becomes a global sensation, Ruebens subsumes himself in his character – and begins to recognize too late that fame is a complicated companion.
Episode 2
Part 2
As his profile continues to grow with his Emmy®-winning series Pee-wee's Playhouse, Reubens becomes a pop culture icon – but faces rumors, vilification, and the vitriol of the media following his arrest in 1991. After reemerging as a cult figure through cameos and a Broadway revival, the actor reclaims his legacy and shares a final message before his untimely passing.
