Well beyond 14 days subsequent to the heartbreaking passing of renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, peers and loved ones persist in remembering the pair.
‘Life is Pain Without You’: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director
Writing on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's beloved 1987 film *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he finally felt ready to post publicly about his profound loss.
"Adequate time has elapsed that I can now articulate my loss into words," posted Elwes, saying that his introductory moment with Reiner left him smitten. "Once we started spending more time together I knew this was someone I longed to have in my life."
The actor posted never-before-seen clips from the movie, remarking that he cannot recall "a single day without joy".
"This story is about affection, allegiance and giving. Things that Rob cherished deeply. That is part of the many reasons he was the best person to direct it," Elwes expressed.
He went on to praise Michele Reiner, noting: "To say that they were a formidable pair would be an oversimplification. My heart still pangs every time I think of you." He finished with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."
Martin Scorsese Recalls a Fellow Artist
In a separate tribute, revered director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.
"Right away, I loved hanging out with Rob. We had a natural affinity for each other. He was uproarious and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would command the room," Scorsese said.
Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the protagonist.
"His improvisation skills with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked seamlessly with everyone, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese noted.
Legal Developments: Autopsy Reports Sealed
Recently, a Los Angeles superior court judge ruled to bar the disclosure of the Reiners' post-mortem findings, following a petition from the local authorities.
A legal directive put a embargo on the files to limit the public release of "any investigative information, documents, files or images" pertaining to the ongoing investigation.
The Medical Examiner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the result of homicide, with a record noting the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".
