Monday Reads and So Forth

 Obituary:  Actor Paul Reubens, 70, known for his performances as Pee-Wee Herman, has died after a bout with cancer.  His career was riding high for many years until it crashed in the early 2000s after sex scandals and crimes involving him came to light.

Snip:

Reubens was born on August 27, 1952, in Peekskill, New York to parents Judy Rosen and Milton Rubenfeld. As a child, Reubens grew up in Sarasota, Florida, where he spent a lot of time attending shows put on by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

After high school, he attended Boston University and decided to pursue acting. After one year in Boston, Reubens moved to California to fulfill his acting dreams and enrolled as a student at the California Institute of the Arts.

His acting career began in the mid 1970s with small roles, including guest appearances on TV's "The Gong Show" in 1976 and as part of the groundbreaking improv comedy troupe The Groundlings.

As noted in the article, he did continue his career following his legal problems although he would never attain the heights he did before all his legal troubles.
