Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer are reported to have died today, December 14th, 2025. Their death is being reported as a homicide. This thread is dedicated to discussing the legendary career of Reiner, but I also expect people will use it to discuss the circumstances of his and his wife’s tragic death as the news reports on it.
Rob Reiner’s career include his breakout acting role in All in the Family, directing classic films such as This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally…, Misery, and A Few Good Men, and his political activism.
