Well beyond 14 days after the tragic deaths of celebrated filmmaker Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community persist in remembering the duo.
Sharing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he just recently felt prepared to express about his profound loss.
"Adequate time has gone by that I can now articulate my loss into words," posted Elwes, saying that his initial encounter with Reiner created an instant bond. "As we began passing more hours together I realized this was someone I longed to have in my life."
The actor uploaded never-before-seen clips from the production, commenting that he could not remember "a single day without laughter".
"This story is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Principles that Rob cherished deeply. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it," Elwes wrote.
He additionally honored Michele Reiner, noting: "Asserting that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still pangs every time I think of you." He ended with a line from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."
In a distinct piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.
"Right away, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection for each other. He was very funny and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese wrote.
Scorsese mentioned Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the main character.
"He could improvise with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked seamlessly with everyone, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese wrote.
This week, a Los Angeles judge decided to block the disclosure of the Reiners' autopsy reports, following a petition from the local authorities.
A legal directive issued a restriction on the investigation to restrict the public release of "any investigative information, notes, reports or photos" connected to the probe.
The Medical Examiner's office had previously confirmed their deaths were the outcome of murder, with a official listing citing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".
In the wake of the killings, public figures shared varying responses.
Ex-President Donald Trump posted on the matter, making provocative statements that were met with immediate backlash by many individuals.
Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his perspective to the detractors last week. Conversing on his program, Rogan labeled the comments as "disappointing" and suggested they showed a worrisome absence of compassion.
Rogan ended by remarking that an adviser could have stepped in when the decision to weigh in on the passing was made.
