Michele Singer Reiner and her husband, Rob Reiner were killed yesterday in their Los Angeles home, apparently stabbed to death by troubled son Nick Reiner, who has now been arrested for the fatal assaults and held (with bail set at $4m according to the NYT<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While many know the work of the famed movie director Rob Reiner \u2013 Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and A Few Good Men among them \u2013 you might not know that the happy ending of the film When Harry Met Sally only came about because he met his second wife, Michele, in 1989 while making the film.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the time, after a ten-year marriage “I\u2019d been single for ten years, and I couldn\u2019t figure out how I was ever going to be with anybody” he told CNN last year. That had led to his planned ending, the couple walking away from each other, but meeting photographer Michele Singer changed his mind so fast they were married the same year the film came out.<\/p>\n

Michele Singer Reiner also acted, appearing in Steve Martin’s comedy Mixed Nuts, and picked up several Producer credits on Reiner’s projects, as well as an Emmy nomination \u2013 alongside her husband, the director \u2013 for the documentary Albert Brooks: Defending My Life.<\/p>\n

She was also interested in the increasing power of the church in the United States, listed as a producer in the documentary God & Country<\/a> about the growing power of Christian nationalism. While her husband Rob was also a producer on this project, director, Dan Partland had previously worked on a film called Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump which does beg some questions about whether they spoke about Michele’s previous photographic clients.<\/p>\n

Known details<\/p>\n

According to several publications, including the New York Post, Michele & Rob’s 32-year old son, Nick Reiner, has been listed as a person of interest. The LA Times isn’t confirming yet, but in the past covered Nick Reiner’s drug issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
