Rob will be remembered for his remarkable filmography and for his extraordinary contribution to humanity.

That empathy extended well beyond his films. Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights — from taking on Big Tobacco, fighting for marriage equality, to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works.

Rob was the big-hearted genius behind many of the classic stories we love, with projects as wide-ranging as The Princess Bride to A Few Good Men.

His boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations to see goodness and righteousness in others — and encouraging us to dream bigger.
