Alice Nunn was an American actress known for her memorable performances in film and television. She appeared in various movies and TV shows, often in eccentric or character roles. Nunn gained recognition for her role as Large Marge in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," where her brief but unforgettable appearance left a lasting impression on audiences. Along with the clown surgeon scene, Nunn's character Large Marge, a ghostly truck driver who gives Pee-wee a lift, provides the biggest scare of the movie via stop-motion animation.

Nunn's contributions to entertainment, particularly her notable performance in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," remain cherished among fans of the movie.
