Remembering Rob Reiner (1947-2025)
On December 15, the DGA made the following statement upon
learning of the passing of Rob Reiner.
The entire DGA community mourns the tragic and untimely passing of Rob Reiner
and his wife Michele Singer Reiner. Rob was a giant whose work helped define
modern American cinema.
Over a remarkable career spanning five decades, Rob directed iconic and enduring
films including his feature debut This Is Spinal Tap (1984). He later directed
important films across genres, including The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry
Met Sally... (1989), Misery (1990), Stand by Me (1986), A Few Good Men (1992),
and The American President (1995). He recently released Spinal Tap II: The End
Continues (2025).
A member of the DGA since 1974, Reiner was recognized by his peers with multiple DGA Award nominations for Outstanding Directorial
Achievement for Stand by Me (1986), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), and A Few Good Men (1992). He was an engaged and respected
member of the Guild and a steadfast champion for the art of filmmaking.
Reiner's films were marked by humor, intelligence, emotional depth, and for an abiding respect for actors and audiences alike.
Beyond his filmography, he was admired for his mentorship and love of his craft, his civic engagement, and for being a principled voice in the
creative community.
He will be remembered as an iconic filmmaker and a valued member of the DGA family.
