He brought a unique form of comedy to television and the big screen. Didn't realize he was 70. Damn...I'm getting old!!!
RIP Pee Wee...
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
He was tied for a time to Jeffery Jones (Ed Rooney, Ferris Bueller's Day Off) arrest, as child porn became more public amongst the Hollywood celebrity-set. He was able to plead-down his charges however the stench of that and his public masterbation charges stuck with him.
Milton Rubenfeld was a top-gun pilot for the United States Army Air Force in World War II. But when the war ended after the surrender of Germany, Japan and the Axis powers in 1945, his peace was short-lived. Raised as an Orthodox Jew, he watched with great interest as Jewish people, many of them survivors of the Holocaust, emigrated to Palestine and established the State of Israel in 1948—an historic development that did not sit well with its new Arab neighbors. War broke out immediately after Israel declared its independence.
Rubenfeld was one of five Jewish pilots who secretly answered the call and took to the skies in smuggled fighter planes to give Israel a fighting chance against superior Arab forces. Their story is the subject of the documentary Above and Beyond, which debuts on iTunes and On-Demand today. The film was directed by Roberta Grossman and produced by Nancy Spielberg.

Hard to believe that he didn't make the cast of "Saturday Night Live" (when it was peaking; a bio says he was friends with Phil Hartman etc.). That would have been something. RIP.

I liked him a lot when I was a kid. I remember watching playhouse one day and my Grandfather walked into the living room and sat down saying, "is this guy a fag or what?"
I shrugged and said "I don't know". I was like 7. Kept watching. And laughing. Grandad laughed a little too at some of the gags, I remember.
Loved the show. Not ventured there with the boys yet but need to.
