- ^ Born Nancy Beth Schwartz, to Ned and Arlene Schwartz, who arrived in New York, via the Bahamas, in 1939. Ned Schwartz was a U.S. citizen who had been studying medicine in Freiberg, Germany and completed his studies in Bern, Switzerland. Schwartz changed his surname to Shaw and became an ophthalmologist, practising in Philadelphia. Nancy Schwartz was later known as Nancy Russek, the surname of her stepfather, Harold Russek. Harold Russek, associated with the prominent furrier and high-end Russeks department store in New York City, was the uncle of photographer Diane Arbus, and also the family member who identified Arbus' body at the morgue, following her suicide. The surname Reiner came from her marriage, in June of 1961, to Stephen R. Reiner. Nancy Reiner chose to retain that surname for the balance of her life.
