Romy Reiner, 28, appeared in Friday's final episode of Larry David's satirical HBO series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, just weeks after her late father Rob Reiner made a posthumous cameo in the show.
Rob and his wife Michele Reiner were killed at ages 78 and 70 last December, and their son Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and charged with their deaths.

Rob's part in the series was filmed one month before his death and was kept secret until the episode aired on July 3.
In Friday's episode, Romy played a nurse tending to an ailing President William Henry Harrison, portrayed by Fred Melamed.

Romy's growing acting career
Romy has previously appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and has four more projects in the pipeline, including the movie You Drive Me Nuts, which will co-star her brother Jake.
Rob's own cameo in the series, filmed shortly before his death, saw him play George Washington in the show's second episode, which aired July 3.

Posthumous Emmy nomination for The Bear
In July, Rob earned a posthumous Emmy nomination for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy for his role as restaurateur Albert Schnurr in season four of the FX drama The Bear. The show, led by Jeremy Allen White, received eight nominations in total ahead of the September ceremony.
The deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner
Rob and Michele allegedly had their throats slit by Nick after a heated argument at their $13.5 million mansion on December 13, 2025.

The Reiner family said in a statement last December: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time."
Rob's adopted daughter Tracy Reiner, 62, told NBC News at the time: "I came from the greatest family ever. I don't know what to say. I'm in shock."

Romy has not posted to her Instagram feed since December 1, when she said she was "thankful for family" and "health." Her last two posts include images of her late parents.
Rob Reiner's career
Rob, the son of comedian Carl Reiner and his actress wife Estelle Reiner, began his career in Hollywood as an actor, playing Mike "Meathead" Stivic in All in the Family between 1971 and 1979, a role that earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards.

His other acting credits include Sleepless in Seattle in 1993, The First Wives Club in 1996, Primary Colors in 1998 and The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013.
He was best known for his directing work, which began with the 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, followed by Stand by Me in 1986, The Princess Bride in 1987 and When Harry Met Sally in 1989. His final film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, was released in September 2025.
