Add Page Six on Google Romy Reiner’s latest acting gig has a sweet connection to her late father, Rob Reiner.
The youngest child of the filmmaker and his wife, Michele Reiner, appeared on the seventh and final episode of Larry David’s new series, “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,” which premiered on HBO Friday.
Romy, 28, starred as a nurse who tended to an ill President William Henry Harrison (played by Fred Melamed).
Her appearance on the star-studded sketch show came weeks after the second episode of the series aired on July 3, in which Rob gave his last screen performance as George Washington before he and Michele wife were tragically killed last December.
The longtime couple, who wed in 1989, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, California, home. Rob was 78 and Michele was 70.
The “All in the Family” actor and the photographer’s death certificates stated they died within “minutes” of receiving “multiple sharp force injuries” with a “knife, by another.”

Their youngest son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths.
The 32-year-old screenwriter is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
In February, Nick, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia before the killings, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Michele and Rob were also parents to sons Jake, 35, and Nick and daughter Romy. Additionally, the “This Is Spinal Tap” director adopted daughter Tracy Reiner during his first marriage to Penny Marshall.
Since the pair’s tragic deaths, Romy and Jake have been trying to resume their normal lives.
Most recently, the siblings threw the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Boston Red Sox game on Aug. 2 as a special tribute to their dad, who was a huge baseball fan.
