Late actor Paul Reubens turned his character Pee Wee Herman into a pop culture icon. From the 1985 hit film 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' to his Saturday morning, 15-time Emmy winning TV show 'Pee Wee's Playhouse,' he helped to shape a generation of the new HBO docuseries 'Pee Wee as Himself' explores the man behind the iconic character, opening a window into his never-before-shared personal life.
