Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, had been married since 1989 and lived in a gated Brentwood neighborhood decorated for the holidays. Rob, son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, began his career as a comedy writer in the 1960s and later starred as Michael Stivic (“Meathead”) in All in the Family, earning two Primetime Emmy Awards. He went on to direct classics including This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally.
The couple shared three children—Jake, Nick, and Romy—while Rob also had a daughter, Tracy, from a previous marriage. Tracy was the first of Rob’s children to speak publicly following the tragedy, telling NBC News that she is “in shock.”
