Schuh-Plattler: "Spinal Tap"-Regisseur ermordet aufgefunden

Musiker und Kollegen entsetzt über Rob Reiners Tod

Von Rob Reiners Sohn Nick ist bekannt, dass er jahrelang drogensüchtig gewesen ist. Die Probleme, die er aufgrund seiner Heroinsucht auch mit seinen Eltern hatte, fanden 2015 ihren Weg in einen Film, der die Herausforderungen dieser Situation zum Thema hatte. Unter der Regie von Rob und geschrieben von Nick sowie einem ehemaligen Suchtkollegen beschrieb "Being Charlie" das Leben eines privilegierten Mannes, der seinen Alltag zunehmend um die Einnahme von Drogen herum organisiert.

Rob Reiners tragischer Tod schockierte zahlreiche Fans seiner Kunst und führte naturgemäß schnell zu etlichen Kondolenzen auf Social Media, darunter befand sich auch Kaliforniens Gouverneur Gavin Newsom. Schauspielerin Kathy Bates, Star der Stephen-King-Verfilmung "Misery" aus dem Jahr 1990, beschrieb Reiner als "brillant", und ergänzte, er habe "mein Leben verändert". Auch die US-Politiker*innen Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi und Barack Obama bekundeten ihre Trauer. Simpsons-Autor Al Jean teilte ein Foto von Reiner aus dessen Auftritt in der beliebten Zeichentrickserie.

Rob Reiner was a lovely man. I spoke to him last night for over an hour. I always enjoyed his company. I met him at his Dad's in 1975. He was telling me about fiming at Stonehenge and his thoughts for the future. This is so awful. I shall miss him. A clever, talented and…

It's just too horrific.

Rob Reiner was an American Icon.

Through his art and activism, he held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. My heart breaks at the senseless loss of our wonderful friend. pic.twitter.com/GcwmXxZFKi
