Rob Reiner’s death and legacy

from Post Reports · host The Washington Post

Rob Reiner is the director of classics that include “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “This is Spinal Tap.” His wife Michele Singer Reiner worked alongside him and was famous in her own right, including photographing what would become the cover of Donald Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal.” The Reiners were advocates for Democratic candidates and causes. News of their deaths over the weekend sparked an outpouring of grief – and was met with more shock when the couple’s son Nick Reiner was arrested on suspicion of murder in his parents’ deaths. Features reporter Sonia Rao explains what we know about the killings so far and the public’s reaction – including disparaging comments by the president. Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Peter Bresnan and mixed by Sam Bair.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.Correction: A previous version of this episode description misspelled Michele Singer Reiner's first name.
