Yesterday, Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Sunday night, their son was booked in connection to their murder. While the world mourns—and awaits the reports from the ongoing police investigation—we take a look back at Reiner’s remarkable career, from his role on the hit 1970s sitcom All in the Family, for which he won two Emmy Awards, to his work behind the camera directing films such as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, Misery, A Few Good Men, and my personal favorite, When Harry Met Sally…, all in a single eight-year period. You can also read the collection of celebrities and politicians posting remembrances of the late filmmaker. And in a very different family with public-figure parents, the daughters of Ted Cruz and Kristi Noem open up about growing up GOP. |

On the surface Caroline Cruz is like any other teenage girl. The 17-year-old loves spending time with her friends and dreams of becoming a Hollywood actor—except her upbringing has been anything but average because she is the eldest child of Senator Ted Cruz. “Growing up as the daughter of a famous politician has always been a struggle for me,” she tells Vanity Fair, speaking from a conference room at her high school in Houston, where she is studying for exams. “I feel like I have to go the extra mile to prove that I am my own person and that I can succeed.”
With VF’s Olivia Empson, the daughters of Ted Cruz and Kristi Noem open up about life in the shadow of their politician parents. |
