Actress Jamie Lee Curtis became visibly emotional during an appearance on The View as she remembered her late friends, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
Curtis appeared on the programme on October 28, 2026, and was discussing her upcoming recognition as the first recipient of the Michele and Rob Reiner Champion for Change Award, established by the Children's Institute in Los Angeles.
Speaking about the couple's commitment to the organisation and its work supporting children and families, Curtis praised their generosity and dedication. She described them as people who were “filled with love and expansion” and said that she, like many others, remained grief-stricken by their deaths.
The actress also spoke about the importance of continuing the couple's community work. Their family established the award to carry forward the Reiners' legacy of activism and support for children.
Curtis shared a longstanding friendship with Rob Reiner. She and her husband, Christopher Guest, were married at Reiner's home, where the filmmaker served as best man. Curtis is expected to receive the award at the Children's Institute gala on November 8, 2026.
