Who is Debi Mazar’s ex-boyfriend Paul Reubens from “Gotham”?

Paul Rubenfeld was born on 27 August 1952, in Peekskill, New York State, USA, and as Paul Reubens is an actor, host, comedian, writer, and film producer, best known for finding popularity through his character Pee-wee Herman, an integral part of the show “The Pee-wee Herman Show” and films such as “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”.

The Riches of Paul Reubens

How rich is Paul Reubens? As of mid-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is at $5 million, mostly earned through a successful career in acting. Later in his career, he started to branch out to other roles, and has appeared in numerous projects such as “Pushing Daisies”, “The Blacklist” and “30 Rock”. As he continues his career, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education


Paul grew up in Sarasota, Florida with his father. formerly a part of Britain’s Royal Air Force and later one of the founding pilots of the Israeli Air Force, and mother Judy – they were the owners of a lamp store. At a young age, he developed an interest in entertainment. as he visited the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus as frequently as he could. He also often performed with his siblings in plays at home.

He attended Sarasota High School, and during his time there, joined the local Asolo Theatre, appearing in several plays. After matriculating, he attended Boston University and also began auditioning for several acting schools, but was turned down multiple times before being accepted at the California Institute of the Arts. He moved to California and worked in a restaurant and as a salesman while taking acting lessons. Soon he would start performing in comedy clubs, before joining the improvisations comedy team The Groundlings, which he would remain a part of for six years.

The Creation and Rise of Pee-wee Herman

During an improvisational exercise, Reubens created Pee-wee Herman, a man who wanted to be a comic but was so inept at telling jokes that the audience knew he wouldn’t make it. He failed to make the cut on the TV series “Saturday Night Live”, and thus decided to borrow money, creating his own “The Pee-wee Herman Show”. Both character and show became mainstream, and quickly attracted a large fan club, despite initial reviews citing him as bizarre. His popularity grew nonetheless, and he would make several appearances in character in “Late Night with David Letterman”.

In 1985, a film based on his character was created in which Pee-wee would go on a nationwide adventure in search of his stolen bicycle; the film received mixed reviews but was successful at the box office, eventually developing into a cult film. He was subsequently signed to create a children’s series entitled “Pee-wee’s Playhouse”, which would go on to gather a huge number of fans, both children and adults. He stayed with the show for five seasons, before deciding to take a sabbatical, as he was getting burned out from playing the character virtually full time.

The Retreat and Return

In 1991, Paul was arrested for masturbating during a film at an adult movie theatre; while he had been arrested previously, this arrest was widely covered, and support for Pee-wee was removed from television and toy stores. For many years, he would not make appearances, give interviews, or appear in talk shows. He only returned in the 1990s to work as a voice actor, before appearing in projects not connected with the Pee-Wee character. He also started doing interviews as himself, and his performance in the film “Blow” playing a hairdresser turned drug dealer, received a lot of praise.


In 2002, he was arrested once more as the police discovered that he had over 70,000 items of kitsch memorabilia, with some believing that he possessed child pornography. An investigation declared that no felony had been committed, but Paul pleaded to a lesser charge, and defended his actions by saying that he had always been a collector of erotica. However, he didn’t really check each material of the collections he bought out. Around the same time he was caring for his father, who died of cancer in 2004, after which he returned to appearing in films and television projects. Most recently, there are hints that there may be more Pee-wee productions in the offing.

Personal Life

It is known that Reubens was married to Chandi Heffner, though no details have been shared about their relationship. The marriage eventually ended in divorce, and he was later often seen in public with actress Debi Mazar. There was a rumor that they became engaged in the 1990s, but instead of denying the news, they decided to play along. There are also rumors about his sexuality, and that he is gay, based on how he portrayed Pee-wee as a gay character in “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”. His erotica collection also contained homosexual erotica, though his personal declaration on his sexuality has never eventuated.
