Romy Reiner, the daughter of renowned Hollywood icon Rob Reiner, grew increasingly concerned when she couldn’t contact her parents throughout Sunday. Determined to check on them, she decided to visit their home.
Arriving at their Brentwood residence around 3:30 p.m., Romy entered the house only to be faced with the heartbreaking sight of her parents, Rob and Michele Singer Reiner, deceased. In a state of distress, she immediately called 911, but the emergency medical technicians could do nothing more than request support from the LAPD.
Authorities quickly initiated a homicide investigation. Officers from the LAPD were dispatched to the scene in response to the emergency call.
The Reiners’ home, situated in the West Los Angeles area, became the focal point of the investigation. Upon arrival, police discovered the bodies of an adult male and female. Collaborating with the coroner’s office, they confirmed the identities of the deceased as Rob and Michele Reiner.
Rob Reiner was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, having been born into a family deeply rooted in show business. His father, Carl Reiner, was a celebrated creator of the iconic Dick Van Dyke Show, while his mother, Estelle, was known for her work as a cabaret singer. Rob himself rose to fame with his role in the classic television series “All in the Family.”
Rob marries Penny Marshall of “Laverne & Shirley,” and though they separate after 10 years, Rob remains close with Marshall’s daughter, whom he adopted, Tracy Reiner.
A highly successful actor, Rob Reiner, tries his hand behind the scenes, flourishing in a directing role. Reiner’s directing debut rock band mockumentary,”This is Spinal Tap,” becomes an instant cult classic.
His 1986 film, “Stand By Me,” received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.
Reiner does it again with the film adaptation of “The Princess Bride,” and again with “When Harry Met Sally,” “Misery,” and “A Few Good Men.”
