Hollywood is not over director Rob Reiner and his spouse Michele's deaths even weeks after the tragic event. The other day, Cary Elwes, known for his role in Reiner's 1987 film adaptation of William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride, paid his tribute to the late filmmaker through social media. "Enough time has passed that I can finally put my grief into words. I was 24 when I first met Rob Reiner on The Princess Bride. And from that very first meeting I fell in love with him," Elwes wrote. The actor added, "I was already a fan of his work so meeting him in person was a dream come true. As we began spending more time together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life. I also knew that by casting me as Westley he was giving me the keys to the castle."

Calling Reiner an emotional man, Elwes also remembered a piece of wisdom that the filmmaker shared to him long back. "Once the movie is released it belongs to other people. But while you are making it, that’s your time on the planet, so you wanna make it good," Reiner once told the actor. He went on to say that he had a "beyond great" time shooting the film, experiencing laughter every single day.

According to Elwes, Rob Reiner was the right director for the film adaptation of Goldman's novel because it has values that the filmmaker "held dear," such as "love, loyalty and sacrifice". The actor concluded his post by writing, "Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."

Shortly after Rob and Michele Reiner's deaths, allegedly at the hands of their son Nick, The Princess Bride star Fred Savage also paid his tribute to them.
