Albert Brooks is still in shock over the murder of his longtime friend and collaborator Rob Reiner. The two friends met in high school and went on to work together on several films, including HBO’s “Albert Brooks: Defending My Life,” which was directed by Reiner himself. Brooks said that Reiner had a profound impact on his life, both personally and professionally, and that he will be deeply missed. A joint statement from Brooks and other friends of Reiner praises the late director’s talent, saying he “became a master storyteller” with a range that “charmed audiences.” The documentary special, which will air Sunday night, is a tribute to Reiner’s life and legacy.
