One thing I really respect Paul Reubens for is..


..the way he handled two scandals that could have easily destroyed him. Even though his career was derailed he rebounded both times. He certainly wasn't a quitter.

RIP dude, you made MILLIONS of people laugh.

what was the second one?

He collected old 50's/60's magazines which had young men posing nude, plus other material like muscle magazines. The police arrested him, saying it was child pornography. In the end, they dropped child pornography charges and allowed him to plead guilty to a misdemeanor for obscenity.

Reubens took about 3 years off but after that worked steadily until the end of his life, mostly in TV appearances and voice over roles.
