Default RIP Peter Falk

Peter Falk has passed away 23/6/2011 at the age of 83, he had advanced Alzheimers disease.
We will remember him in his trade mark rain coat as Columbo a role that showed what a briliant performer he was. he brought a great deal of pleasure to many people myself included

RIP Peter Falk
AKA lieutenant Columbo

RIP Peter Falk - a beloved American icon.

He also had his trademark basset with him didn't he?

Yes he was great, i loved the way he went about his job as columbo and what about all them cars you see in the shows.
He realized the significance of his cars model but i would not say he was an enthusiast.

Such a shame to hear this ... the Columbo series was excellent and always enjoyed watching it.
