Peter Falk Dead

[Zoom-boing]

Man, he was one of my all time favs. Even got an autographed pic of him when I was like ten and Columbo was in its hay-day.

Peter Falk, the Emmy-winning star of 'Columbo,' has died. He was 83.

CBS Radio News confirmed via a family spokesperson that Falk died on the evening of June 23.

Falk is survived by wife Shera Danese Falk and adopted daughters Jackie and Catherine. After Falk fell ill following a surgical procedure in 2009, Shera Danese released a statement on PeterFalk.com, placing the site on hiatus.

Falk suffered from dementia and late in his life he reportedly could not recall his most famous character, Columbo.

Bummer.

A great character and obviously Colombo was a conservative. RIP.

So who killed him?

 

[rightwinger]

His Columbo character was an American icon. He will be missed, he was a great actor even without Columbo

 

[boedicca]

RIP Peter.

"One more thing..."

 

[Ropey]

Yes, a good actor.

The Colombo role was built for him.

RIP Peter.

Placing his site on hiatus?

Really?

Even I liked Columbo a little bit, and I thought Peter Falk was a great actor.

I had not even thought about the guy for a couple of decades.
My sympathies to his family , etc, etc.

I read somewhere that they based the whole of the series on the interview between the detective and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. Smart ass jerk ass suspect and seemingly clueless detective.
It worked pretty well.

He will be missed, one of the funniest movies was him and Alan Arkin in "The In-laws".

But Dabs, who killed Peter Falk? There should be an investigation. I know that the locals will claim it was from 'natural causes', but we have heard that before.

Ossining NY native. He only had one eye but he made his squint work for his rumpled trenchcoat wearing detective character.

Peter Falk was on a british talk show a few years ago. I could tell he was'nt well back
then. He entertained millions with his TV show still being shown regularly on british TV.
God bless Peter.

 

[Valerie]

Yes, a good actor.

The Colombo role was built for him.

RIP Peter.

Placing his site on hiatus?

Really?

I read earlier somewhere that his wife put the site on hiatus months ago when he first fell ill... Never been there, so I don't know...


Loved watching Columbo as a kid. RIP Mr Falk
