‘Life is Pain Without You’: Cary Elwes Pays Tribute to His Director
Sharing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, stated he just recently felt able to express about his personal sorrow.
"Enough time has passed that I can now articulate my loss into words," wrote Elwes, noting that his initial encounter with Reiner left him smitten. "As we began spending more time together I realized this was someone I desired in my life."
The actor shared never-before-seen clips from the production, commenting that he cannot recall "any day without mirth".
"The movie is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Principles that Rob held dear. Which is among the many reasons he was the best person to helm it," Elwes expressed.
He went on to praise Michele Reiner, noting: "Claiming that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He concluded with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but living is anguish without you."
Martin Scorsese Recalls a Friend and Collaborator
In a distinct piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.
"Immediately, I loved spending time with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese shared.
Scorsese highlighted Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the lead role.
"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with the cast, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese noted.
Judicial Actions: Autopsy Reports Restricted
Recently, a Los Angeles court official decided to prevent the disclosure of the Reiners' post-mortem findings, after an appeal from the local authorities.
A legal directive placed a security hold on the investigation to limit the public release of "any investigative information, evidence and photographs" connected to the active case.
The coroner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the consequence of homicide, with a official listing listing the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".
Response and Criticism
In the wake of the deaths, public personalities expressed different comments.
Former President Donald Trump commented on the matter, providing divisive remarks that were met with immediate backlash by numerous individuals.
Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his perspective to the critics recently. Conversing on his show, Rogan labeled the remarks as "disappointing" and suggested they showed a worrisome absence of compassion.
Rogan concluded by remarking that an aide should have acted when the choice to speak on the death was made.
