Ultimate Rob Reiner Fan: Miranda Tedholm
Hometown: Rockaway, NJ
Age: 25
Profession: "Grad student -- studying cinema, of course!"
Miranda Tedholm knows a good director when she sees one. She was only four when her father took her to see The Princess Bride, which started her love affair with Rob Reiner's films. "His films seem to encapsulate a sense of joy and wonder about the world without being really saccharine or dumbed-down," she says. As for Reiner's other work, while Tedholm admits she's a bit too young to appreciate his "Meathead" days, she says that his mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap was groundbreaking for the genre, and as for Misery? Well, "Misery taught me to run -- FAST -- anytime someone claims to be my 'Number One Fan.'"
