Cheryl Hines: Rob Reiner's Assistant to Curb Star
20 Oct
Summary
- Cheryl Hines was Rob Reiner's personal assistant before 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'.
- Larry David's early film project 'Prognosis: Negative' never materialized.
- Hines earned two Emmy nominations for her role as Larry David's wife.
The career trajectory of Cheryl Hines on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is intricately linked to a long-standing friendship between Larry David and Rob Reiner. Hines, who eventually earned two Emmy nominations for her portrayal of David's wife, initially worked as Reiner's personal assistant. This role provided the crucial connection that led to her audition for the iconic HBO series.
Before Hines' involvement, David had conceptualized a dark comedy film titled "Prognosis: Negative." Rob Reiner was initially approached for this project, which was intended to be a semi-autobiographical piece about David's own neuroses. However, the film never came to fruition.
Years later, when casting for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" commenced in 1999, Hines' prior experience working for Reiner and his production company proved instrumental. Her audition impressed David immediately, leading to her casting and subsequent Emmy nominations for her role throughout the show's twelve seasons.
