Nick Reiner Charged With Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner Murders

“I saw them night before last looking healthy and happy,” the 87-year-old wrote on Instagram Dec. 15. “I am reeling with grief. Stunned.”

The Barbarella actress emphasized that the late couple were “wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people, always coming up with ideas for how to make the world better, kinder.”

Nearly a decade before Rob and Michele’s untimely deaths, Rob had collaborated with his son Nick on the film Being Charlie, a semi-autobiographical film that explored Nick’s addiction struggles. 

“It was intense,” Rob explained in a Build Series interview in 2016. “It was difficult at times. But it was also the most satisfying, creative experience I’ve ever had.”

Nick concurred, adding, “It was a pretty nice experience for me.”
