Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed by their son, Nick, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.

On Sunday, Dec. 14, at about 3:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was called to a home to provide medical aid, the LAFD told PEOPLE. Upon arrival, they found a man, 78, and a woman, 68, dead. Sources confirm the victims were Rob and Michele.

Rob is a director, producer and actor whose career includes some of Hollywood’s most beloved films — from his 1984 directorial debut, This Is Spinal Tap, to Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).

He first became famous for his role as Mike on the Norman Lear TV sitcom All in the Family.

Rob was born in the Bronx, N.Y., in 1947. His father was legendary comedian Carl Reiner and his mother was actress and singer Estelle Lebost.

Rob and Michele met when Rob directed When Harry Met Sally, and the couple married in 1989 before having three children.

Previously, Rob was married to the late Penny Marshall, who died in 2018 at age 75 of complications from diabetes.

In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.

Nick told PEOPLE that the chaotic period of addiction — including nights and sometimes weeks sleeping outside — later became the basis for the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote.

“Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family," Nick told PEOPLE at the time.

An aerial view of a Brentwood home where paramedics and police responded Sunday afternoon after reports that 2 individuals were found dead inside.

Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA.

The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.

LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information.

There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening.

LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m.

Within a few minutes, LAPD officers were dispatched to the home for a report of an, "ambulance death investigation," which is LAPD terminology when officers are called by firefighters to the discovery of a death.

Neighbors said Reiner and his wife live in the home, and property records indicate they own the home.

People saying Rob fucked his kids are retards.
I think Hollywood and wealth provided the environment to raise at least one child with ASPD + drug problems. Rob lashed out at the medical professionals that tried to help him. Instead he kept a psychopath around him and it ended up being his undoing. In an ironic twist it disproved his entire world view.
 
Why did the late Reiners look so different from their kids?

I don't want to disrespect the dead, but they looked very semetic, very goblinesque. Meanwhile, their son and daughter look like Greco-Roman statues.

Were they adopted?
The mother had the same kind of bone structure as the sons, it’s just not as obvious because of her age. The daughter looks more like a mix of the two, her nose and smile are more similar to the father.

The parents were nearly 70 and 80 years old, things are going to sag and discolour by the time you get to that age. They didn’t look like they went wild with surgery and fillers the way aging celebrities often do, the kids might have had something done given that they grew up around money and that culture.
 
I mean, it’s just seems to be ppl’s opinion on the matter from some observations, not that I disagree just was curious if anyone actually had heard anything concrete about psychiatric treatment or disorders.

I wondered if the family sort of wrote doctors off because they were veering in the “this more than just substance abuse disorder” territory and they didn’t want to hear it.

The Reiners were right about the rehab industry in some respects but that in no way changed the fact their kid was an addict, but even so the advice they were giving was x100 better than any of Nick’s. A family with big ego and belief in their own exceptionalism would be particularly susceptible to this and it ended up causing untold misery and tragedy for them all.

That's exactly what happened. The doctors were explaining that Nick was deeply manipulative, impulsive, lacked remorse, and displayed aggression at the smallest perceived infraction. If you watch the full interview for that movie Rob made with Nick it's fully explained. You can actually see Nick randomly give his dad shit throughout the interview. Which is hilarious because Rob created the whole project to bend over backwards for his son.
 
That’s my hope for a positive outcome from this story, that people learn you can’t coddle and continue supporting an addict or you’re directly fueling their addiction.
It reminds me of zombie films when a person refuses to leave an infected love one and it just ends up killing the said person. You can't lend a hand to an addict when they are willing to pull you down.
 
Sure, there was plenty of that. But let me just say that Trump is not my first go-round with a Republican President being compared to Hitler on a regular basis.
Call me old school, but I'm still of the opinion that the moment you drag Nazis and Hitler into something, you automatically lose and you're a fucking retard too. If you're going to call someone Hitler, show me the six gorillion please.

Also, just in general on this thread, I'm not going to claim I'm above gravedancing myself, but seriously save that shit for some genuinely evil fuck like Henry Kissinger or, to pick someone on the left, Dianne Feinstein.
Auteur theory predates the French New Wave. Lots of Golden age of Hollywood auteurs existed and were celebrated (most notably Val Lewton, Howard Hawks, John Ford, and Douglas Sirks).
Did they actually call it that then, though?
Heaven's Gate and the various New Hollywood flops did not kill the auteur theory so much as it caused a turnover of Hollywood directors to let more new blood into the mix, with only a few like Spielberg retain their alpha dog status via adapting to audiences tastes to keep making hits.
Heaven's Gate has had a bit of a critical revision. It may have been a disastrous flop (that literally wiped out UA), but was apparently a good or even great movie. I intend to watch it at some point.

Spielberg is a whore. This is not to cast into doubt his skills as a director, but for almost all of his career, he was just in "how do I make as much money as possible" mode. This isn't a bad thing, since the way you do that is making movies people LIKE and actually WANT to pay good money for. It sure beats the current "buy out massive franchises then kill them by insulting the audience and calling them racists for not buying tickets" bullshit.

But Schindler's List is a perfect example of how good a director he is. He decided "well okay I've made a bunch of money but now I want a Best Picture" and then just did it. That's Babe Ruth calling a home run levels of greatness.

The earliest comparison I'm aware of was Truman saying it of Dewey during 1948. Barely three years after the war! It's overblown, but it's also a recurring feature of the moronic nature of American politics, and therefore something easily dismissed.

Also, just in general on this thread, I'm not going to claim I'm above gravedancing myself, but seriously save that shit for some genuinely evil fuck like Henry Kissinger or, to pick someone on the left, Dianne Feinstein.

It's all so subjective. As someone who's not on the left, I didn't care for Feinstein but I wouldn't see any reason to gravedance her. But Kissinger, man, go to town on that motherfucker. Especially since, unlike the awful circumstances surrounding the Reiners, he died of such advanced old age he outlived multiple reporters who'd worked on his obituary.

Best to just keep a respectful silence for at least 24 hours.

The movie never got a fair shake thanks to the insane things Cimino did that sent the budget into the stratosphere, such as wasting entire days of filming because the sunset didn't look right.
 
You can actually see Nick randomly give his dad shit throughout the interview. Which is hilarious because Rob created the whole project to bend over backwards for his son.

Its even worse than that because there is this whole subtext in and around the film that he is getting better when he clearly is still completely messed up. His father is desperate for everything about it to be Nick's redemption story but you look at Nick and listen to Nick in those interviews around the time of the movie.....and its not good. His eyes look dead even then.

Only filming during the golden hour and then insisting to use sepia tones when processing the film. LMAO. My god.
There’s a lot to criticize about Heaven’s Gate but my god the set design and costumes are a feast, it’s worth watch for that alone. I’m a sucker for rigorous authenticity with costumes and sets and HG is extraordinary in that dept.

Like most people I have never seen this film but given the situation I’m very curious now. It sounds like Rob thought he could literally force a Hollywood ending onto his son’s life by making a movie. Nick sounds like a twat in interviews about it and barely conceals he thinks it’s a bunch of BS.

Ironically those are completely normal traits in certain sectors of Hollywood. They are traits most of the studio executives have so maybe that’s why the Reiners didn’t see the big deal and figured it might even be a big plus if he wanted to get into the industry.
 
Butting heads, kissing on the lips... open hostility: Actor reveals Rob Reiner's bizarre interactions with son Nick on the set of their 2015 film

The stunt double recalled Reiner's unconventional dynamic with his son on Being Charlie.

'They were fighting and arguing with each other while they were on set. They were kissing each other on the lips, which was weird,' Aude said.

'They were bickering and going off on each other on set. It wasn't comfortable. There was definitely hostility there.'

I'm weirded out as a fan of Carl Reiner from watching The Dick Van Dyke Show on Nick at Nite as a child (and I liked him in the Ocean films.) Carl used to let child Rob wander the set and he once smacked Mary Tyler Moore on the ass.

Rob Reiner... was, at one point, a rather lost looking, kind of hunched-up twelve-year-old. His father, Carl, allowed him to hang around the set of The Dick Van Dyke Show when school was out. He was quiet and wore a serious face, but if you looked closely, you could see a jester peeking out at you. I was still in my Kate Hepburn mode, demanding respect with my every gesture and word. This hauteur now invaded my off-camera personality, as well. I don’t know what got into this usually shy and retiring boy—some unpredictable hormonal eruption in the boy-to-man process, I suppose. But one day, as he passed me backstage, he reached out and swatted my behind, saying, “Hiya.” I, of course, being ever the lady, and having no way of predicting the power seat he would hold later on, told his father on him. Carl called him into his office and asked if he had, in fact, committed this crime against gentilty. When Rob hung his head and nodded his confession, Carl just smiled at him and said, “Well, don’t do it again.” -- After All, 1995


Now every time I watch him, I'm going to be thinking, "your grandson killed your son." I wonder how Mel Brooks is holding up. Buddy was based on him. I also watched All in the Family on TV Land, but I hated Meathead and liked whenever Archie was mean to him. Does anyone else think he was completely miscast just because of how much older than his age he appeared? I read that he was already bald by then and wearing a toupee. He was only 24 when the show started but I felt like I didn't see generational conflict because Mike looked middle-aged and I could have bought him as one of Archie's drinking buddies. Also, I saw on the news allegedly sweet clips of him discussing how he changed the ending of When Harry Met Sally when he met his wife on the set. Should we now still be happy for them knowing the creature these two's DNA would create together?

She never saw a blatantly unconstitutional law she didn't vote for. She is personally responsible for much of the devastation of the Constitution that we see now. Absolutely awful piece of shit. She harmed society every day she was in office.

I will gladly gravedance that bitch.

That's why All in the Family was such a good show. Uberlibtard Norman Lear was the showrunner. The idea was Archie Bunker was supposed to be a dumb bigot getting shafted by the libtard played by Reiner.

The audience preferred Archie Bunker and he was the breakout character (he was supposed to be the antagonist). But instead they embraced that and made him one of the most lovable assholes in TV, largely because of Carroll O'Connor's excellent acting.

Cursed family photos. As a preteen Nick looks disconnected but not necessarily more than any average sperg, then in adulthood the deeply unsettling humanoid vibe is ever-present. Most of these are from Michele's Instagram which is still live here and out of probably 20 group photos there's one where he doesn't look exactly like an unhinged murderer. She stopped posting in March 2024 after the one with Paul McCartney and fat Nick.

But no, listen to Kubrick's critique of Schindler's List. Schindler's List isn't an outlier, it's part of the overall pattern you just highlighted. Spielberg is a crowd pleaser. A good crowd pleaser (at least, he was in his prime) but a crowd pleaser nonetheless.

Schinder's List is about success. How Oskar Schindler, with his wits and his cunning, managed to save a small number of Jews from the gas chambers. The Holocaust was about failure. About how society could so utterly fail that the Nazis were allowed to massacre so many people in the first place.

Ironically, All in the Family beginned first as a proposed pilot in 1968 for ABC titled "Justice for All" where instead of being called Archie and Edith Bunker, there was called Archie and Edith Justice and another actor portrayed Meathead.

Also, in an earlier post, I wondered about Rob Reiner position on HCQ and Ivermectin and Grok gived me the following answer.

Didn't trusted HCQ and Ivermectin but didn't trusted the guys who tried to help his son....

There were two pilots shot with different actors ("Justice for all", "those were the days") before he got the part. And IMO both actors were even worse. He was old for the part, but he was able to deliver the politics with a certain degree of passion which was worth something. He also had a genuine sort of acting chemistry with O'Connor at times. It never really worked as a generational conflict. It ended up being more of a political conflict between the two. I always saw him as playing some early to mid-1960s "student radical" rather than something authentic to the early 1970s.
