Los Angeles police are investigating an apparent homicide at the Brentwood home of Rob Reiner, where two people were found dead Sunday afternoon.

The bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman were found the home in the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, according to Police Capt. Mike Bland.

Law enforcement sources confirmed to The Times that there was no signs of forced entry into the home.

Margaret Stewart, a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman, said the department was called to the residence around 3:30 p.m. for medical aid. Inside the home, fire personnel discovered the bodies of the man and woman.

The property is the home of Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.

The names of the victims have not been released, and few other details were available.

Reiner, 78, has had a five-decade-long career in Hollywood, including starring in the iconic CBS sitcom "All in the Family" and directing a string of movie hits including "When Harry Met Sally," "This Is Spinal Tap" and "The Princess Bride."

Reiner also was a leading political voice in Hollywood.

He was a co-founder of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the organization that led the fight to overturn Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. He's also been active in children's issues through the years, having led the campaign to pass Proposition 10, the California Children and Families Initiative, which created an ambitious program of early childhood development services.

Proposition 10 was considered landmark policy. Reiner enlisted help in the effort from Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams, and his own father, comedy legend Carl Reiner

Law enforcement have swarmed Reiner's sprawling estate in Brentwood.
