Streisand noted that the weekend “made her incredibly sad.” At Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, a gunman dressed in black killed at least two people during exams.
“This weekend has made me incredibly sad. First the tragic shooting at Brown University, then the horrific massacre in Australia, and then the deaths of two people I knew personally, Rob and Michelle Reiner,” she said.
The artist said that she had known Rainer for a long time.
“Rob and I started our careers in the industry together. He was a wonderful actor and a very talented director. He was also a passionate community leader and person. He will be greatly missed. May he and his wife rest in peace,” Streisand wrote.
