‘Colombo’ Star Peter Falk Has Passed Away
It’s a sad day in Hollywood today because news that legendary Peter Falk passed away has hit the headlines, the 83-year-old Columbo star had been suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
A rep for the Academy Award nominee said that he died peacefully at his home in Beverly Hills and that he is “survived by his wife, Shera, of 34 years and two daughters from a previous marriage.”
Back in 2009 his wife, Shera, and his daughter, Catherine Falk, were locked in a court battle over over the creation of a conservatorship for Peter and who would take control of it. In the end a judge ruled that his wife would get the conservatorship over the actor.
Peter played Columbo on 69 episodes from 1968 to 2003 ad he won four Emmys for the role that saw him become a Hollywood legend. To keep his memory going in your head here are a few photos of the legend. May he rest in peace.
