7. Friends With Pee-Wee Herman
Elvira was part of the improv group “The Groundlings” in L.A. She worked alongside future stars like Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz and Pee-Wee Herman. She even appeared in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure as a biker chick. And if you look carefully at the magic shop in the movie, you’ll see a picture of Elvira at the front entrance. When she made her own movie, she wrote parts in it for her friends from the group. Unfortunately, Hartman and Pee-Wee were unable to appear due to scheduling conflicts. But believe it or not, she’s still tight with Pee-Wee.
Elvira said that her favorite guest spot was definitely in the Pee-Wee movie. However, she did have other great cameos including being a pole dancer on Happy Days and a deaf-mute gypsy on Fantasy Island.
