Filmmaker Rob Reiner and His Wife Found Dead in Los Angeles Home
----------------------------------------------------------------

Filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found
dead with stab wounds Sunday afternoon in their home in Los Angeles.
Their deaths are being investigated as a homicide, according to law
enforcement. Reiner was a longtime actor and director and was known for
his films "The Princess Bride," "When Harry Met Sally" and "A Few Good
Men." He rose to fame as one of the stars of Norman Lear's "All in the
Family." Reiner was also a prominent donor and supporter of Democratic
candidates. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said, "An acclaimed actor,
director, producer, writer, and engaged political activist, [Rob] always
used his gifts in service of others. He and Michele fought for early
childhood development and marriage equality, working to overturn
Proposition 8. They were true champions for LGBTQ+ rights."
