Zooey Deschanel is speaking out after the death of Rob Reiner, who played her dad on the Fox hit New Girl. "My heart is broken. Rob Reiner was the absolute warmest, funniest, most generous of spirits," the actress wrote via Instagram on Monday, December 15. "A truly good human being. An incredible artist and such a playful and fun collaborator. I cherish the time we spent working together and the many films he made that have shaped who I am." Deschanel, 45, continued: "Rob and his lovely wife Michele were always so kind and it brought me so much joy any time I was lucky enough to see them.
