Filmmaker Martin Scorsese has penned a heartfelt tribute to his longtime friend, director and actor Rob Reiner, and Reiner's wife, Michele, who were found dead in their Los Angeles home on December 14. Scorsese described their deaths as "heartbreaking" and an "obscenity," reflecting on their decades-long friendship that began in the early 1970s. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested and charged in connection with their deaths. Scorsese remembered Reiner's wit, humor, and New York show business roots.
