RIP! He gave us - quite possibly - the all time best romantic comedy in Hollywood History!

Director and actor Rob Reiner best known for This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally has sadly passed away.

Rest in peace.

Who remembers when General Hospital filmed up here? Winter of 1982 over in Oak Bay! Just one of the ‘Luke & Laura’ storylines from our childhood! RIP Anthony Geary!

From Genie Francis
This morning I woke up and went into my husband’s arms. In my sleep my life was flashing before me and I was afraid of death. An hour later, I received a call from Frank Valentini, he told me tony died. I immediately felt remorse, I hadn’t spoken to him in years, but I felt his life end in my sleep last night, and with it a big part of me, and mine.
He was a powerhouse as an actor. Shoulder to shoulder with the greats. No star burned brighter than Tony Geary . He was one of a kind. As an artist, he was filled with a passion for the truth, no matter how blunt , or even a little rude it might be, but always hilariously funny. He was the anti-hero, always so irreverent, but even the most conservative had to smile. Working with him was always exciting. You never knew what might happen. He spoiled me for leading men for the rest of my life. I am crushed, I will miss him terribly, but I was so lucky to be his partner. Somehow, somewhere, we are connected to each other because I felt him leave last night. Good night sweet prince, good night.
