Romy Reiner, daughter of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner, is unable to reach her parents all day Sunday, so she decides to make a house visit.
At around 3:30 p.m., Romy lets herself into her parents’ Brentwood estate and discovers her mother and father, Rob and Michele Singer Reiner, dead. Romy dials 911 in a panic, but EMTs can do nothing but call for LAPD backup.
Detectives quickly open a homicide investigation. LAPD responds to a residence.
The residence of Rob and Michele Reiner is located in West Los Angeles division. At that location, they found two deceased adults, a male and a female. Working with the coroner’s office, they were able to identify them definitively as Rob and Michele Reiner.
Rob Reiner was born into the business; his father Carl Reiner is a legend behind the popular Dick Van Dyke show, and his mother Estelle performed as a cabaret singer. Rob garners fame when he lands a role on “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.”
