Carl Reiner’s legendary, seven-decade-long career in television, film, books and Broadway came to an end Monday when he died at his home in Beverly Hills.
But the Bronx-born 98-year-old’s legacy will live on forever.
Born on March 20, 1922, to Jewish immigrants from Austria and Romania, Reiner, a true Renaissance man, made a permanent imprint on American comedy.
The entertainment icon won nine Emmys, a Grammy and a place in the Recording Academy’s Hall of Fame, acted in over 40 films, held countless TV roles — including variety-show host Alan Brady on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” — directed 15 movies and wrote more than 20 books, among them memoirs and children’s stories.
