Paul Reubens makes final film appearance in Awkwafina, Sandra Oh comedy ‘Quiz Lady’
LA TimesActor and comedian Paul Reubens, who died of cancer in July, will make his final film acting appearance in the fall Hulu release “Quiz Lady” — but not as his iconic alter ego, Pee-wee Herman. Reubens appears in a cameo as himself in the 20th Century Studios release, which also stars Holland Taylor, Jason Schwartzman, Tony Hale, Jon “Dumbfoundead” Park and Will Ferrell. As Pee-wee, Reubens starred on “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” from 1986 to 1990 and took the beloved character to the big screen in “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and “Big Top Pee-wee”. “Crazy Rich Asians” breakout Awkwafina stars in “Quiz Lady” as Anne, an introverted woman who reluctantly teams up with her chaotic sister Jenny when their mother’s gambling debts lead to the kidnapping of her dog.
