Rob "Meathead" Reiner

Both Rob and his wife Michelle were found dead in their home on Dec 14th. The police are investigating this as a homicide.

Though I didn't care for his politics, in fairness, he wouldn't have cared for mine.
I admired his skill as a writer and director. He directed one of my favorite movies:

"Stand By Me."


I hope he and both his wives rest in peace.
Laverne has already passed.

Yes, its a shame when someone's life is so senselessly ended in such a way.

This is very sad news. He will be greatly missed. Stand By Me, Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride stand out as three great films that will long be admired.

Didn't he also do "Sleepless in Seattle"?

Didn't he also do "Sleepless in Seattle"?

Yes. And so many more. Here's a pretty good list of his films. He also had quite a catalog of television programs.

Enjoyed watching him in All it the Family.

[BrokenolMarine]

Yup, the Princess Bride was a longtime family favorite.

All I'll say is Good Riddance...

I had missed this. I was never a fan, but it seems he was killed by his own son with a knife, according to what I heard on the radio. What a terrible way to go.

Tragic end but won’t miss him running his mouth.
