What was first reported a few hours back as unknown victims found dead in Reiner's Brentwood home was unfortunately updated and confirmed to be the legendary Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, dead of what appears to be stab wounds, according to TMZ via Consequence.
For children of the 80s, Reiner was an icon - someone who brought to life some of the most epic and influential stories we'd remember forever. As a person who thinks the book is inherently better, Reiner's interpretation of The Princess Bride is my exception.
How would we know it goes to 11 without Spinal Tap? Not to mention Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally or a million other things Reiner brought humor, heart and uncomplicated intelligence.
Reiner was also an activist who fought for equal rights via the foundation he co-founded as well as through membership in the Social Responsibility Task Force and was never afraid to reinforce those beliefs via social media.
Reiner led with laughter and kindness that he wove into his work and "IRL" persona, and we can't help but feel a light go off in that little corner of our childhoods with him leaving so soon.
