STORY: A man and a woman were found dead at the Los Angeles home of Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner, several local news media outlets reported on Sunday (December 14).

Reuters could not immediately verify those reports.

But a Los Angeles Fire Department official told Reuters a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found deceased at a home in west Los Angeles at an address that public records link to Reiner.

Reiner, 78, co-starred in the 1970s hit CBS television comedy "All in the Family" and directed several well-known movies, including "This is Spinal Tap," "When Harry Met Sally," "Stand by Me" and "The American President."

1. VARIOUS OF AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, ARRIVING FOR INTERVIEW ON SIDELINES OF CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

2. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, SAYING:

"It's a big thing to be anywhere at age 75 and getting older as we speak. No, I love being back here. It's the most beautiful place in the world to have a film festival and it's the greatest film festival in the world. So no, it's great to be back here and I'm energised because, you know, not only are we going to get to, you know, take a second shot at this thing ("This Is Spinal Tap"), but also Castle Rock (production company) has been revitalised. We've gotten a new infusion of equity and we got an opportunity to make some more films. And until they tell me you can't do this anymore, I'm going to keep doing it."

4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, SAYING:

"My father had the best line. My father had the best line when he got older. Now I'm a young man, 75 compared to what he (was). But he used to say, 'I get up every morning, I read the obits and if I'm not in it, I eat breakfast'. And so that's my main thing. I look and see. I'm I still here. Okay."

6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, SPEAKING ABOUT SATIRICAL DOCUMENTARY "THIS IS SPINAL TAP":

"Well, it certainly surpassed what we had when it first came out, which people had no idea what the hell it was. People thought, you know, 'why would you make a movie about a band that nobody's ever heard of and one that's so bad'. So it has grown over the years and it's now part of the National Film Registry in America and all that. So, yeah, no, we never could have expected it to be what it turned out to be."

7. REINER SPEAKING DURING INTERVIEW (TWO SHOTS)

8. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, SAYING:

"Hardly a day went by when one of the four of us didn't get approached by somebody saying, you know, 'you guys should make a sequel'. And we always said, 'No, no, we don't want to do it'. And it wasn't... So we came up with an idea for how to do it that we thought, okay, let's do it. And we were still very nervous and trepidatious about going forward because it's a high bar. You know, we've set a high bar, so, you know, we wanted to make a film that if you hadn't seen the first one, it would stand alone and be something you could enjoy on its own. Now, if you have seen the first one, you'll enjoy it even more. But but we wanted to make something that would stand alone on its own."

10. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AMERICAN DIRECTOR, ROB REINER, SPEAKING ABOUT SATIRICAL DOCUMENTARY "THIS IS SPINAL TAP":

"We all created together. And it was a completely organic process. We had all worked together. In 1978, I did a television show, a special, which was a satire of different things on television. It's called the TV Show. And one of the things we did was an old midnight special was an old rock and roll show, and we introduced Spinal Tap for the first time and the thing called Rock and roll Nightmare. And during the shooting of that, they were improvising in character, in these British characters. And so I said, We've got to do something with these characters more than just this little three minute thing that we're doing. So it happened organically with the four of us. We all, all came up with it together.
