Document: Peter Falk has Alzheimer's
1 hour ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A court document filed by Peter Falk's daughter says the Emmy-winning actor is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Catherine Falk is seeking a court's approval for a conservatorship of her 81-year-old father, who she claims no longer recognizes people. A hearing has been scheduled for late January.
Falk is familiar to most audiences as the star of the television series "Columbo," for which he won four Emmys. He was also nominated twice for Academy Awards for movie roles in 1959 and 1960.
The petition filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court states Falk lives in Beverly Hills with his wife and recently had hip surgery and requires constant care.
A phone message left for Falk's manager was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Hard news

While most people remember him as "Colombo", every time I hear his name I think of him as the cabbie in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".

A classic!

I had a second or third cousin who was a detective out of the Six-One before he retired. I remember washing the car with my dad at a gas station about a block away from the SH when he walked by. I swore he looked exactly like Columbo!

I'm walking a foot post on 2nd Ave near St. Marks Place and I see him coming down the avenue. I yell out: "Hi Ya Lieutenant." He stops and talks to me for a few minutes. I ask him where the raincoat is and he tells me he can't wear the raincoat off the set. "The guy that takes care of the raincoat makes more than I do." lol lol

Wonder why the daughter is in court and not the wife - if she is still alive.

Very sad news. May God watch over him.

Too Bad, it is a horrible disease to deal with, for both family members and the patient, especially in the beginning when they do have some clear moments.

I went thru it with my dad and luckily I had all legalities taken care of before he was too far gone.
