Rob Reiner, 78, was a towering figure in American film and television, the son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, who died in 2020. He began his career in the 1960s as a comedy writer, including work on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Reiner rose to national fame in the 1970s portraying Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the landmark sitcom All in the Family, earning two Primetime Emmy Awards during the show’s run.

After the series concluded in 1979, Reiner transitioned to directing, launching a celebrated film career with This Is Spinal Tap. He went on to direct a string of acclaimed and culturally influential films, including Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally…, Misery, A Few Good Men, The American President, and The Bucket List. His work spanned genres and generations, cementing his reputation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile directors.

Reiner met Michele Singer, a photographer, while directing When Harry Met Sally…. The couple married in 1989 and were together for more than 35 years. Friends and colleagues have often credited their relationship with influencing creative decisions in Reiner’s work, including the film’s iconic ending.

In recent years, Reiner also continued acting, appearing as Bob Day, the father of Jess, on New Girl, and later as Albert Schnur in The Bear. According to industry listings, his most recent directing project—a concert-style film featuring the fictional band Spinal Tap—has been completed and is slated for release next year.

Michele Singer Reiner, 68, largely remained out of the public spotlight but was known for her work in photography and for her long partnership with Reiner. The couple shared three children—Jake, Nick, and Romy. Reiner also has a daughter, Tracy, from his previous marriage to director Penny Marshall.

Authorities have not released further details, citing the sensitivity of the case and the ongoing investigation.
