		Reiner was married to actress-director Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981.
		Rob Reiner was the subject of a parody in the South Park episode "Butt Out," which criticized his objection to smoking as hypocritical and fascist, due to the fact his weight problem was just as big a danger, if not more than smoking.

	Rob Reiner
		Born to an entertainment-oriented family (his father is comedy giant Carl Reiner), in the Bronx, New York, Rob Reiner was 12 when he moved with his family to Los Angeles, and it was there that he started acting in regional theater.
		Reiner made his feature film debut as an actor in his father's autobiographical Enter Laughing (1967), but his first real break came in 1971 when he won the part of Michael Stivic, the staunchly liberal foil to Carroll O'Connor's hilariously backwards Archie Bunker in the ground-breaking sitcom All in the Family.
		Reiner became a director in 1984 with the cult favorite This Is Spinal Tap, a satirical mockumentary of the rise and fall of a fictional rock group.

		Rob Reiner's "Stand By Me" is a celebration of those youthful adventures that eventually transform into cherished memories as the years go by.
		However, Reiner amazingly manages to vividly define and develop the film's four young leads to the point where they start to stir up distant memories and lead you to recall certain friends you had while you were growing up.

		One of Reiner’s selling points for his initiative is that it would require all preschool teachers to have a bachelors degree and a teaching credential.
		Preschool for all is a seductive proposition, but the reality is that the purported benefits would likely be much less than what Rob Reiner and his cohorts are promising.
