The discovery was made at the couple’s Brentwood estate in the afternoon. Emergency responders found the 68-year-old photographer and the 78-year-old filmmaker dead inside. The police have launched a full investigation, led by the Robbery Homicide Division.
Michele Singer Reiner met Rob on the set of When Harry Met Sally and they married in 1989. She was a respected artist in her own right, and together they were a formidable team in the world of philanthropy and activism. They raised three children and were deeply committed to their family.
Rob Reiner was a legend in Hollywood, known for his acting and directing. His films are cultural touchstones, and his role in All in the Family is iconic. The loss of both Rob and Michele is a blow to the creative community.
