ccCarl Reiner, the quintessential straight man for Sid Caesar and Mel Brooks who based beloved sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show on his own life and jump-started Steve Martin’s big-screen career, has died, his assistant Judy Nagy confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 98.
The influential writer, director, actor, author and multiple Emmy Award-winner died Monday night at his Beverly Hills home of natural causes, Nagy said.
Son Rob Reiner, the actor, writer, director and Oscar-nominated producer, said in a tweet Tuesday morning: "Last night my dad passed away. As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light."
TMZ first reported the news of his death.
