  • In a preview, Kiefer Sutherland recalls Jack Nicholson nailing an iconic A Few Good Men scene so decisively that Rob Reiner sent the cast and crew home early.

  • The Los Angeles medical examiner ruled the deaths a homicide caused by multiple sharp-force injuries; Rob Reiner was 78 and Michele Singer Reiner was 70.
  • Some outlets have reported unconfirmed details about who discovered the bodies and the suspect’s mental health, which authorities have not corroborated.
