Well beyond 14 days subsequent to the heartbreaking passing of renowned film director Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues are still paying respects to the couple.
Sharing on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who rose to fame in Reiner's 1987 classic *The Princess Bride*, stated he just recently felt prepared to post publicly about his deep grief.
"Sufficient time has passed that I can at last put my grief into words," posted Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner created an instant bond. "When we commenced passing more hours together I understood this was someone I longed to have in my life."
The actor posted never-before-seen clips from the production, commenting that he cannot recall "any day without joy".
"This story is about affection, allegiance and giving. Principles that Rob held dear. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to guide it," Elwes expressed.
He additionally honored Michele Reiner, stating: "Claiming that they were a great team would be an oversimplification. My heart still aches every time I think of you." He finished with a line from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but living is anguish without you."
In a distinct essay, revered director Martin Scorsese paid homage to Reiner, whom he first met in the 1970s.
"Immediately, I loved being with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was uproarious and sometimes sharply witty, but he was never the kind of guy who would dominate the room," Scorsese said.
Scorsese mentioned Reiner's cameo appearance 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 master at comedy, he worked seamlessly with the cast, and he grasped the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese wrote.
This week, a Los Angeles judge agreed to bar the disclosure of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, following a petition from the local authorities.
A court order put a embargo on the cases to prohibit the public release of "all case details, evidence and photographs" connected to the probe.
