A Tragic Discovery Reiner was discovered deceased alongside his spouse, Michele Singer Reiner, at their residence in LA over the weekend. “How we will long for this man…” the actress posted on Instagram, alongside a picture of them together. “Thank you, Rob and Michelle [sic], for the way you believe in true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter. Thank you for your faith in the best in people, and for your profound love of our country.” Court Case Developments Reiner’s son Nick, 32, is accused of two counts of first-degree murder and made a court appearance today.

He elevated his writers. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. Everyone felt like part of a crew. His direction was a gift, but his legacy is broader.” An Enduring Filmography When Harry Met Sally was a box office and critical triumph in 1989, making over $93m at the box office and scoring Nora Ephron an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.
