Yes, I knew this. Because of cancer at the age of 3. He had a few operations that did not work, and a glass eye was placed instead :). He was a marvel and a had Moxie :) ❤️❤️❤️🌴🌅💔
Peter Falk was never considered a male hunk but I thought he was quite handsome. As an immensely creative actor he certainly didn’t need to depend on his looks. He made the Colombo character an iconic entertainment world character that still impresses today. I, for one, watch Columbo reruns over and over. So seductive is the uniquely entertaining TV detective brought to audiences by Peter Falk’s artistic actor legacy, is that they never get old.
@@thisisme3238 Oh, no. Not always. When our mother and father passed away, we were agreeable and amicable about their estate. The only friction occurred before he died. There was talk about putting him into a nursing home, and I made it plain they were going to do that OVER MY DEAD BODY! He got to stay in his own home with us and hospice, and he died there.
The courts and attorneys are the only ones that win. All it takes is a loophole by one of the heirs. They are so bitten by the money they don’t realize that they’re just dishonoring their loved one. All their lives they worked and earned every dime that they saved. That’s until one greedy family member basically gives the estate to the courts. It’s just sad. Very sad.
My husband and I were in LA driving around the nicer neighborhoods. Can’t remember if we were in Beverly Hills or Bel Air but here comes Peter Falk coming up his driveway to leave. His wife was driving but he was giving a big wave and a smile. That same trip we decided we needed to turn around so my husband pulled into the end of a driveway intending to backup. All of a sudden we are surrounded. We hadn’t noticed this small guard house which is where these men came pouring out. My husband immediately figured it out. He said you’re secret service? They said yes so yes of all the driveways to turn around we picked the Reagan’s. They were very nice. Quickly figured out we didn’t mean any harm and we were on our way.
Yes, I was aware of the "friction" between Peter Falk's daughters and his last wife...sad situation, indeed. 😥 Peter Falk was one of my favorite actors and "Columbo," one of my top favorite shows. 🙏 RIP PETER FALK 🙏 You are so missed by many
I still watch Columbo whenever I see it and It’s a Mad…..World is a great movie. My Dad actually met Peter Falk at a place on Cape Cod in the late 1970’s I remember him saying what a wonderful person Peter Falk was.
Bless his daughters well done. A partner has no legal right to stop the rights of children visiting their parents' period. I enjoyed this, thank you. I have been a long-time fan of Columbo. RIP Peter falk🙏
@@FactsVerse Had Peter Falk hadn't amassed a fortune. His second wife wouldn't have interfered or cared with his estranged kids from his first marriage from visiting him. His kids probably wouldn't have visited him either. Falk and his daughters should have had a decent relationship despite the divorce and him marrying someone else.
@@shopperm4689 I think it went beyond money. I think the daughters really loved him and wanted -- needed -- to reconcile with him. And I think Peter needed their presence, as well. Step-parents need to butt out in these cases. Family relations can be complicated enough without additional spouses fueling the flames. I'm glad the daughter won. It was her right to see her own father.
@@FactsVerseMy favourite is Forgotten Lady (Janet Leigh), but there are many other great episodes...Death Lends A Hand (Robert Culp), Candidate For Crime (Jackie Cooper), Troubled Waters (Robert Vaughan).....and more.
I think a child should have access to their parent no matter what. If no harm comes from it they should be able to see their patent before their demise.
I’m 76 y.o. and I remember watching all Falk’s wonderful performances. I knew all the problems the daughters had with their stepmother. What a self-centered person. I was infuriated and felt so sorry for his girls. I hope Kathryn has gotten over “the witch’s” hurt she had to suffer through. May God Bless both of you.
I still watch Colombo. I love the way he solves who did it and I also believe that family is family and when there’s a second outsider that prevents that I think that person is wrong.
I love Pocket Full of Miracles. One of my all time favorite movies. Bette Davis is so good in this role, as is Peter Falk. The In-laws with Allen Alda is also a great Peter Falk movie. Hysterical! "Serpentine"!
@@kilgoretrout3875 I think you meant Alan Arkin (not Alda). And yes, it was brilliant. Arkin said in an interview that at one point when they were actually driving the car, they were swerving all over the road not simply because of the script, but because Peter Falk had him laughing so hard.
Can't imagine anybody playing Columbo but him, he was great. I've heard of problems between him and Shera, between him and one of his daughters, and between Shera and his daughters. But family ties are important, and when someone is ill and coming to the end of their life, it's time to put aside differences and focus on family love.
I'm watching him now 9/2/2023! Always! At least every Saturday! Jessica Fletcher too! Murder She Wrote! My 2 ABSOLUTE FAVORITE shows FOREVER!!😊❤ Thank you for this! Sincerely, Moniette.
I read Peter's book that he wrote it's really funny in some ways because he's the one that actually came up with his famous line 'just one more thing' lmao 🤣 one time the scene that they were doing happened to be over and there were no more lines and he just put it in there just for the hell of it and he kept it ever since lmao 🤣 He also chose his attire. He didn't smoke cigars in real life but did the best he could on screen lmao 🤣 smoked cigarettes. I believe he owned that car too!! You really could have fooled me lmao 🤣 for a long long time I did not know he had a glass eye truly amazing. He sure got around well just having one eye.🤗 His 2 basset hounds were on the series both were named 'Dog'. Lmao 🤣 From what I read he is a true gentleman. One-time Leonard Nimoy was on one of his episodes and he even said that he was really nervous playing the character that he was there to do but he had said that Peter was a gentleman to him and help him through it. I will always remember him as Columbo. By the way Columbo DOES have a first name lmao 🤣 Frank. He never uses it but in one episode during season 2 when he flashes his badge you can clearly see Lt Frank Columbo.
Peter Falk is one of my favorite actors. It’s a shame what was going on with his family. But, it shows no matter what, family is family, and the soap opera continues…… Oh, one more thing…
Peter Falk was an amazing actor, bringing us the Columbo character. The combo of Falk, along with the shows creators (Levinson and Link), is so clearly the inspiration for POKERFACE. I like that show, but Columbo was the OG. ❤
Peter Falk was in a number of movies doing a variety of roles. He played the assistant to Jack Lemon in The Great Race in which they were competing against Tony Curtis in a car race that went through several European countries. A really funny movie. There were so many episodes of Columbo that I liked that it's hard to pin down one as my favorite.
The right hand man of mobster played by Glen Ford in A Pocket Full of Miracles. He is a scene stealer, like he was as a cabbie in It’s a Mad Mad Mad World. Bette Davis, Hope Lang, Ann Margret are some of the other greats in this very good movie. It’s occasionally played on TV at Christmas, back in the 80’s & 90’s every year as a Christmas staple. A personal favourite❤.
I'm glad that his daughters won the right to see their Dad. I watched his show from time to time. I liked the car he drove in Columbia. It was such a wreck.
We're very happy to know that you and your father are a fan of Peter! Thank you so much for sharing your life story. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
I love watching Peter Falk even now in reruns . There are a few stations still running the show but I liked him best in a Christmas movie on Hallmark he played a angel I think he was in two different movies for Hallmark and they were great if you can't tell I am a Peter Falk fan
I'm glad his daughter finally won. No child, adult or otherwise, who loves one or both parents should be denied the right to see and be with that parent, especially when the end is near. That's CRUEL, and I'm glad the judge was willing to see that. You go, Girl!
He was married to his second wife over 30 years...... of course she would make the decisions.... if there's been a lengthy alienation I wonder why...... I've been a step mother twice, my current marriage is over 25 years .... I am still very close to my first marriage 3 stepdaughters even though their father and I divorced, and have 2 adult now, step children I dearly love. Sounds tragic to me... someone had to be right or alienate. Who was that? How is it all that love they showed when they realized time was running out, wasn't available when a loving family might have been formed with counseling, with caring, ... I've seen this in my extended family and no one, no one, not one of them won anything by their behavior....
Interesting/informative/entertaining. What made the Colombo (TV) series a smash hit-!!!🤗. The dynamic guest stars whom enhanced his character performances-!!!😉. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/Prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
An amazing talented actor and he was brilliant as the detective in that raincoat always saying one more thing. Peter Folk will be forever remembered as Columbo and even though the series is often seen in repeats it is just one thing we may have missed or something in the shot or a word said. He had a lot of input in these episodes as a director and maybe a writer. We saw that his daughter Catherine is an actress I wonder did she ever worked on Columbo with her late father. Columbo the origin would wonder if there are any plans for a short series about a younger Columbo as it would be fascinating to see an early take on this detective crime-solving skills.
0:53 Some people say that Columbo's first name is Frank as the name Frank Columbo can be clearly seen on his LAPD ID card in a few episodes - so the narrator referring to Peter Falk as 'Frank' here is not so crazy! 😁 Great video!!
I just love to see all the 1960’s-70’s actors in their prime. Hum, it’s hard to pick. I loved Dead Weight with Susan Plashette , A Stitch in Crime with Mr.Spock, Swan Song with Johnny Cash, Negative Reaction with Dick Van Dyke, Fade In To Murder with Captain Kirk, Try And Catch Me with Ruth Gordon, Grand Deceptions with Robert Foxworth, Short Fuse with Roddy McDowell,( Columbo goes up the Palm Springs tram), Murder By The Book with Jack Cassidy, ( Columbo goes up to Big Bear in the mountains) and the one with Linsey Krouse as the murderer.
Catherine Falk could not get to see her father anymore because of Falk's 2nd wife. So Catherine's lawyer told her to go to court and sue to become the care taker and the Judge would give her visitation rights to see him.
I think the daughter should have been delegated as the care taker. The step mother was wrong to control the narrative. Just do a google and you will find some of her outlandish antics in public. She was volatile and obnoxious.
@@shopperm4689 Later sworn statements from the Falk family, family friends and associates report Catherine has been long-estranged from her father and would not handle his affairs in his best interest.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Wihch episode of Columbo is the most memorable for you?
I love watching Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo. Also, movies like Mad... world and the cheap detective. He also wrote a book out lining his life. If u didn't know he had a glass eye from losing his real one from a tumor. One more thing sir he'll be missed.
I did not know that his second wife tried to keep the children away from their father. This is a situation that is also prevalent in many homes today , especially when either remarry.
Doesn't. Sound ĺike a kind 2nd wife. She , i do not believe, had his interest in mind when she tried keeping her father and his daughter apart. I loved Peter Falk. He was in many movies not mentioned. Several comedies. I loved his acting. His voice and his charisma. I still watch shows and movies today. I have several DVDs with hi. In and i think i watched every one of the Columbo s several times and enjoy them as much as i did when i first saw them. Again you gave me back wonderful memories 😊
Definitely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I also must say, I do my best NOT to judge! But, his second wife has that face, I'm getting it ALL!😅 And, most of their pics together shows him in love, but her body language looks like being tolerant to get clout and cash!😁
Met him back in the early 80's. He came into a restaurant I was working in across from the Plaza. He seemed to be just like his Columbo character right down to the trench coat.
I’m watching Columbo episode as I’m writing writing this comment. I feel it’s sad that his daughter had to fight so hard to see her father being so close to death!! I believe that Shera Denise had something to do with that interference!! Seems Money Driven. Should have nothing to do with past tensions between Peter and either of his Daughters. He gave a huge part of his life to entertaining the public. 🙏🏻👼😎😎👼🙏🏻
Why would his daughter have to sue him for university tuition and expenses when he was a successful actor? One of my favourite Peter Falk movies is “ Roommates.”
I have most of his movies, git to love his style. I have a friend who was a former police inspector in Alberta in the 1970s. In the 1970s the police force in Alberta used to tell police officers who were unkept and sloppy to, "Go home, you dress like Columbo."
Every time I see Columbo all I think about is that Peter Falk had at one point been managment consultant. Can you imagine Columbo showing up ( with that amazing voice) and giving his report and saying 'Your product is over priced crap, Mrs. Columbo wouldn't give it house room, your CEO is a bum..and just one more thing..the toilet paperin the mens room is too thin'
@@FactsVerse My one negative comment is that there were contradictions in this, for example it said at one point he had a close relationship with his daughters but then later said they were estranged..how? Lot of ppl it would be fun to see. How about some off the beaten track ppl, like scientists like Richard Feynman and the like, or ppl who made history but are unknown ( like the real story of johnny Appleseed).
I watched this video because I always enjoyed Columbo but I did not know of the issue between his second wife and his children. I’m so glad the girls were able to see him before his death. My children were treated the same way by their father’s newest wife. Unfortunately, they never had the privilege to visit their dying Dad who also had dementia and cancer. She kept the children away with physical gates and even armed guards. It was very, very sad. He loved his kids and they loved him.
The step mother should have never prevented prevented the two adults daughter not to see have access to their father. I think it was very cruel and mean and controlling. Going to court over for it in itself is so stressful and annoying on top of the time lost. Round of applauses for the daughters.
I remember Shera Danese in a couple of the Columbo episodes. The fact that she did not allow Peter's daughters to see their father is evil and malicious. That shows she didn't love him, she married him for money only.
One of my favorite Columbo episodes was the one with Johnny Cash, who played a famous country singer named Tommie Brown. Those hypocritical gospel bitches almost deserved what they got, but, murder is murder, and he had to pay for it. I loved it when Tommie told Columbo, when finally caught, that he would have eventually confessed, anyway, because it was really getting to him. Then their classic gospel song was playing loudly on the car radio.
Money always brings out the worst in people. Mr. Falk WAS Lt. Columbo, and Lt. Columbo WAS Mr.Falk. He made that character. I once sat next to him on an airplane in business class back around 1999.
Peter Falk, One of the best Actors That ever Lived. its terrible how his daughters have been treated. i wish they could find his 2 old Peugeot 403's cars from Columbo, one disappeared and the other Ended up in Mexico, it would be great if they could track it down and get it back. i would love to own it, best because i know Peter Falk Drove it.
Family disputes get ugly and often Ridiculous. ""Mom wanted ME to have her diamond ring, not You!!!" Laws should be prohibitive and instructive with rules of civilized behavior, NOT just as a hammer for after an event. Society should spell out legal rights for all members of a family. Rights that any member can claim or abrogate. If a family member is a rat, a family member should seek for a family court to terminate those rights. IOW, how courts should work. All legal relationships should be legally protected. There should be no common law at all because only one Law is required. Faulk's legal papers should include his written medical and estate directives. The current wife rules unless Faulk made other or previous arrangements. If the current wife is rotten then challenge her ability to carry out Faulk's wishes. If his kids or ex-lovers challenge him and are found to be harassing, woe to them to commit fraud. Perhaps Faulk's alter-ego would be useful in solving the true motivations behind the participants besides true love. A person and/or their estate is not an infinite pie from which to steal an extra slice.
I knew them both. First wife Alyce was a smart sophisticated lovely woman. We didn't agree on politics and had many lively debates but I really liked her. Shera on the other hand was a low class opportunist.
That's just SAD, why would ANYONE, fight over MONEY, IT'S A DIRTY PIECE OF PAPER. THAT'S JUST AWFUL, THEY SHOULD BE ASHMED OF THEMSELVES, WIFE, & DAUGHTERS!!!!! NO MORE FIGHTING!!! DIVIDE THAT MONEY INTO 3 EQUAL SHARES EVERYONE GETS A ( TH I RD) EQUALLY
Yep I knew all about it. Never had much respect for Shera Danese as an "actress" ~ In addition, what kind of person wants to keep a dying father from his children?? No class. Peter Falk was blinded by the face and body of his second wife. Personally, I thought his first wife (Alyce Mayo) had it totally over Shera Danese as far as looks and class. I enjoy watching reruns of Columbo. R.I.P. Peter!
If money wasn't involved. His second wife probably wouldn't have interfered with his estranged children wanting to visit him. And probably his estranged kids wouldn't have visited him.
When a person becomes mentally or physically ill, And the partner keeps Buzzing in their ear Eventually they give up fighting Because they Just Want PEACE!! -My dad told me at the end of his life I'm sorry I replued Let me guess Every time i visited then Left ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE he looked down Nodded And had tears in his eyes
She was his legal 2nd wife. Wonder where his daughters were before he got down with mental and physical health issues. I wonder what was truly going on! This is simular to a divorce. There is Her story then His story then there is the truth!😂

2023. Midnight. I am watching "Columbo" right now. Love me some Peter Falk. RIP, sir
We're happy to know that you're a fan of Peter and the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse I can't pick just one. Season one had the better shows, especially the 1st one.
He was married to his second wife over 30 years...... of course she would make the decisions.... if there's been a lengthy alienation I wonder why...... I've been a step mother twice, my current marriage is over 25 years .... I am still very close to my first marriage 3 stepdaughters even though their father and I divorced, and have 2 adult now, step children I dearly love. Sounds tragic to me... someone had to be right or alienate. Who was that? How is it all that love they showed when they realized time was running out, wasn't available when a loving family might have been formed with counseling, with caring, ... I've seen this in my extended family and no one, no one, not one of them won anything by their behavior....
Interesting/informative/entertaining. What made the Colombo (TV) series a smash hit-!!!🤗. The dynamic guest stars whom enhanced his character performances-!!!😉. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/Prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
An amazing talented actor and he was brilliant as the detective in that raincoat always saying one more thing. Peter Folk will be forever remembered as Columbo and even though the series is often seen in repeats it is just one thing we may have missed or something in the shot or a word said. He had a lot of input in these episodes as a director and maybe a writer. We saw that his daughter Catherine is an actress I wonder did she ever worked on Columbo with her late father. Columbo the origin would wonder if there are any plans for a short series about a younger Columbo as it would be fascinating to see an early take on this detective crime-solving skills.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
God bless Katherine and Jackie,
More people should take care of their aging parents and have the right to visit them before their parents pass on❤
Catherine fought for visitation. Jackie did not help at all. I know them both.
0:53 Some people say that Columbo's first name is Frank as the name Frank Columbo can be clearly seen on his LAPD ID card in a few episodes - so the narrator referring to Peter Falk as 'Frank' here is not so crazy! 😁 Great video!!
I still watch Columbo on Cozytv
Columbo is also on Peacock. ( with commercials.)
Us too! Which episode is your favorite?
I just love to see all the 1960’s-70’s actors in their prime. Hum, it’s hard to pick. I loved Dead Weight with Susan Plashette , A Stitch in Crime with Mr.Spock, Swan Song with Johnny Cash, Negative Reaction with Dick Van Dyke, Fade In To Murder with Captain Kirk, Try And Catch Me with Ruth Gordon, Grand Deceptions with Robert Foxworth, Short Fuse with Roddy McDowell,( Columbo goes up the Palm Springs tram), Murder By The Book with Jack Cassidy, ( Columbo goes up to Big Bear in the mountains) and the one with Linsey Krouse as the murderer.
Oops, that’s Linsey Crouse in Sex and the Married Detective. Let’s face it, they are all Great!!!
I want to go to his grave site and thank him for his work. I would have liked to meet him.Great actor
Loved columbo broke my heart when he's died legend who will never be forgotten 💯❤️💞
Catherine Falk could not get to see her father anymore because of Falk's 2nd wife.
So Catherine's lawyer told her to go to court and sue to become the care taker and the Judge would give her visitation rights to see him.
What an awful thing to do, isolating him from his daughters. That’s just plain evil, glad the daughters persisted.
I think the daughter should have been delegated as the care taker. The step mother was wrong to control the narrative. Just do a google and you will find some of her outlandish antics in public. She was volatile and obnoxious.
@@shopperm4689 Later sworn statements from the Falk family, family friends and associates report Catherine has been long-estranged from her father and would not handle his affairs in his best interest.
I still see him in the rerun
He was good …grate..
RIP ….. and one more thing…
Loved himwatch him every Sunday no all the words to every Episode over and over again great Actor a Natural .
MY OPINION..."HE IS THE BEST DETECTIVE"👍.. BETTER THAN "MONK"‼️
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Wihch episode of Columbo is the most memorable for you?
Monk is nowhere near columbo
I love watching Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo. Also, movies like Mad... world and the cheap detective. He also wrote a book out lining his life.
If u didn't know he had a glass eye from losing his real one from a tumor.
One more thing sir he'll be missed.
I did not know that his second wife tried to keep the children away from their father. This is a situation that is also prevalent in many homes today , especially when either remarry.
Why couldn’t Colombo meet Monk?
Doesn't. Sound ĺike a kind 2nd wife. She , i do not believe, had his interest in mind when she tried keeping her father and his daughter apart. I loved Peter Falk. He was in many movies not mentioned. Several comedies. I loved his acting. His voice and his charisma. I still watch shows and movies today. I have several DVDs with hi. In and i think i watched every one of the Columbo s several times and enjoy them as much as i did when i first saw them. Again you gave me back wonderful memories 😊
Family, second wife should not ever denied husband children. All bout control. Pure evil.
Definitely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Nope, didn't know this! Used to watch Columbo all the time. ❤❤👍
Glad to know that you discovered something new about Peter. Which episode of Columbo appealed to you the most?
No I did not know and is do still enjoy reruns of Colombo.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I also must say, I do my best NOT to judge! But, his second wife has that face, I'm getting it ALL!😅
And, most of their pics together shows him in love, but her body language looks like being tolerant to get clout and cash!😁
Love Columbo , admiration for thus talented man❤😢
He was such a great actor
LOVED THE SHOW,,, COLUMBO
Met him back in the early 80's. He came into a restaurant I was working in across from the Plaza. He seemed to be just like his Columbo character right down to the trench coat.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Which episode of Columbo appealed to you the most?
I’m watching Columbo episode as I’m writing writing this comment. I feel it’s sad that his daughter had to fight so hard to see her father being so close to death!! I believe that Shera Denise had something to do with that interference!! Seems Money Driven. Should have nothing to do with past tensions between Peter and either of his Daughters. He gave a huge part of his life to entertaining the public. 🙏🏻👼😎😎👼🙏🏻
❤❤❤Very good Girls. The daughters of Peter Falk. This second wife, was a nightmare! !!! He didn’t deserve that and also not his children.

Why would his daughter have to sue him for university tuition and expenses when he was a successful actor?
One of my favourite Peter Falk movies is “ Roommates.”
I have most of his movies, git to love his style. I have a friend who was a former police inspector in Alberta in the 1970s. In the 1970s the police force in Alberta used to tell police officers who were unkept and sloppy to, "Go home, you dress like Columbo."
Every time I see Columbo all I think about is that Peter Falk had at one point been managment consultant. Can you imagine Columbo showing up ( with that amazing voice) and giving his report and saying 'Your product is over priced crap, Mrs. Columbo wouldn't give it house room, your CEO is a bum..and just one more thing..the toilet paperin the mens room is too thin'

@@FactsVerse
My one negative comment is that there were contradictions in this, for example it said at one point he had a close relationship with his daughters but then later said they were estranged..how?
Lot of ppl it would be fun to see. How about some off the beaten track ppl, like scientists like Richard Feynman and the like, or ppl who made history but are unknown ( like the real story of johnny Appleseed).
I watched this video because I always enjoyed Columbo but I did not know of the issue between his second wife and his children. I’m so glad the girls were able to see him before his death. My children were treated the same way by their father’s newest wife. Unfortunately, they never had the privilege to visit their dying Dad who also had dementia and cancer. She kept the children away with physical gates and even armed guards. It was very, very sad. He loved his kids and they loved him.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse I’m sorry to say that it’s been too long ago to remember one in particular.
The step mother should have never prevented prevented the two adults daughter not to see have access to their father. I think it was very cruel and mean and controlling. Going to court over for it in itself is so stressful and annoying on top of the time lost. Round of applauses for the daughters.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The very mean Stepmother was clearly alive & well in this situation....it’s beyond me why it had to be this way.....
I remember Shera Danese in a couple of the Columbo episodes. The fact that she did not allow Peter's daughters to see their father is evil and malicious. That shows she didn't love him, she married him for money only.
One of my favorite Columbo episodes was the one with Johnny Cash, who played a famous country singer named Tommie Brown. Those hypocritical gospel bitches almost deserved what they got, but, murder is murder, and he had to pay for it. I loved it when Tommie told Columbo, when finally caught, that he would have eventually confessed, anyway, because it was really getting to him. Then their classic gospel song was playing loudly on the car radio.
Money always brings out the worst in people. Mr. Falk WAS Lt. Columbo, and Lt. Columbo WAS Mr.Falk. He made that character. I once sat next to him on an airplane in business class back around 1999.
Sad but true. May Peter find peace. What other types of video would you like to see?
BIG RESPECT TO COLOMBO🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I hate when people die at all.
May I ask what was the prob with his eye? I loved him as an actor and watched all his shows?
He was handsome in his own skin
Peter Falk, One of the best Actors That ever Lived. its terrible how his daughters have been treated. i wish they could find his 2 old Peugeot 403's cars from Columbo, one disappeared and the other Ended up in Mexico, it would be great if they could track it down and get it back. i would love to own it, best because i know Peter Falk Drove it.
Did this not happen to Kasey K’s daughters?????
The character columbo had a wife...did we ever see her in one of the episodes?
No but going to look into Catherine Falk group because my father and my sisters and i cant see or talk to him due to his 2nd wife
Family disputes get ugly and often Ridiculous. ""Mom wanted ME to have her diamond ring, not You!!!" Laws should be prohibitive and instructive with rules of civilized behavior, NOT just as a hammer for after an event. Society should spell out legal rights for all members of a family. Rights that any member can claim or abrogate. If a family member is a rat, a family member should seek for a family court to terminate those rights. IOW, how courts should work. All legal relationships should be legally protected. There should be no common law at all because only one Law is required. Faulk's legal papers should include his written medical and estate directives. The current wife rules unless Faulk made other or previous arrangements. If the current wife is rotten then challenge her ability to carry out Faulk's wishes. If his kids or ex-lovers challenge him and are found to be harassing, woe to them to commit fraud. Perhaps Faulk's alter-ego would be useful in solving the true motivations behind the participants besides true love. A person and/or their estate is not an infinite pie from which to steal an extra slice.
Love him
We're a big fan of Peter too. May he find peace.
Great as colombo
Just leave the man alone. He made the money notthe kids and can gi e it to whoever he chose.
She should be ashamed of herself
His 2nd wife looks like a smug painted cold woman.....his 1st wife looks a real nice lady.
I knew them both. First wife Alyce was a smart sophisticated lovely woman. We didn't agree on politics and had many lively debates but I really liked her. Shera on the other hand was a low class opportunist.
That's just SAD, why would ANYONE, fight over MONEY, IT'S A DIRTY PIECE OF PAPER. THAT'S JUST AWFUL, THEY SHOULD BE ASHMED OF THEMSELVES, WIFE, & DAUGHTERS!!!!! NO MORE FIGHTING!!! DIVIDE THAT MONEY INTO 3 EQUAL SHARES EVERYONE GETS A ( TH I RD) EQUALLY
I knew all of the people mentioned quite well. The general point of this video is basically true but so much of the details are totally wrong.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Yep I knew all about it. Never had much respect for Shera Danese as an "actress" ~ In addition, what kind of person wants to keep a dying father from his children?? No class. Peter Falk was blinded by the face and body of his second wife. Personally, I thought his first wife (Alyce Mayo) had it totally over Shera Danese as far as looks and class. I enjoy watching reruns of Columbo. R.I.P. Peter!
Both are Money hungry women who selfishly claimed him for themselves and couldn't share!
They found out that Peter had Died
On the News
If money wasn't involved. His second wife probably wouldn't have interfered with his estranged children wanting to visit him. And probably his estranged kids wouldn't have visited him.
Why do the family of celebrities want to throw them under the bus after they die! It was rumored that he was cheap! So what !!

Enjoyed watching columbo, anyone remember colambo? The sheep detective on sesame Street based on him?😂

When a person becomes mentally or physically ill,
And the partner keeps Buzzing in their ear
Eventually they give up fighting
Because they Just Want PEACE!!
-My dad told me at the end of his life
I'm sorry
I replued
Let me guess
Every time i visited then Left
ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE
he looked down
Nodded
And had tears in his eyes
She was his legal 2nd wife. Wonder where his daughters were before he got down with mental and physical health issues. I wonder what was truly going on! This is simular to a divorce. There is Her story then His story then there is the truth!😂
@mkidd8806 there R
Three sides 2 a story
His side
Her Side
And What REALLY Happened
He had worked for the state of ct. I won't tell you what he did but you can call him the Taxman
