All we know about the siblings of Rob Reiner

Rob Reiner’s sudden death has drawn interest towards his personal life, including his siblings, Lucas Reiner and Annie Reiner.

They grew up together in a creative household and were born to Carl and Estelle Reiner. Rob Reiner was born in March 1947 in The Bronx, New York City and is the eldest child of his parents. He attended Beverly Hills High School and later studied film at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Rob’s younger brother, and the youngest child of his family, Lucas Reiner, was born in Los Angeles in August 1960.

He attended Parsons School of Design. His mother, Estelle, was a painter who introduced Lucas Reiner to many European painters such as Matisse, Braque, Picasso, Bonnard and American post-war painters such as Pollock, Alice Neel, Mark Tobey and more. She became Lucas’s inspiration, who later chose painting as his profession.

His mentor, Martin Lubner, introduced him to a wide range of elements. Lucas is known for painting series which offer “narrative,” “symbol” and are at the same time “nonrepresentational.”
