 RIP Peter Falk After years of struggling with Alzheimer's, the man who was Columbo has finally passed away.
They say he couldn't even remember that role at the end. I hope he finds peace in the great beyond.

Re: RIP Peter Falk I grew up watching him play Columbo, and am sorry to see him go. He'll be missed.

Re: RIP Peter Falk One of the greats, my friends, one of the greats.
A test for falk fans.
What movie had the villain yelling at him, "Max, you idiot!"

Re: RIP Peter Falk Jack Lemmon in "The Great Race."
Man, the movies I have loved him in. All The Marbles. Mikey and Nicky. The Great Race. The Princess Bride. The Brinks Job! The In-Laws! Murder by Death! A Woman Under the Influence.
I also want to see him as a beatnik in the apparently highly underrated The Bloody Brood. It was his debut and the movie apparently has beatniks in it.
Good god, am I ever glad that he walked this earth.

Re: RIP Peter Falk Also love his brief but memorable stint as a disgruntled cab driver in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Re: RIP Peter Falk  I was bummed by the news. I always liked the guy. Alzheimer's is a bad way to go. He deserved a better exit from life's stage.  Here's to him. May he rest in peace.

Re: RIP Peter Falk Alzheimer's is such a terrible, terrible disease. Watched it take away my grandfather.
I'm surprised though, I could have sworn he had already passed away earlier this year.
Will probably watch 'the In-Laws' in his memory.

Re: RIP Peter Falk Er, that's 'cause he did. Check the date of the first post. Always time for more tribute to a great actor, though.

Re: RIP Peter Falk And let us never forget his unique performance as Sam Diamond in Murder By Death.

Re: RIP Peter Falk Oh Cliffster, always one to go straight to my heart. "So you really are Sam Diamond then." "Absolutely, sweetheart. I was in disguise in disguise in disguise."
