American media outlets reported that the couple’s bodies were discovered yesterday at their home in Los Angeles.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Rob Reiner appeared in minor roles on television programs during the 1960s. He went on to direct classic films such as The Princess Bride and This Is Spinal Tap.
He was also a co-founder of Castle Rock Entertainment, a production company responsible for dozens of films, including When Harry Met Sally… and A Few Good Men.
