Columbo Star Peter Falk Dies at 83
Peter Falk, best known for his Emmy-winning role on Columbo, has died. Falk passed away Thursday evening at his Beverly Hills home. He had suffered from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in recent years. Falk was 83.
Falk started his acting career in theater. Despite difficulties presented by his glass eye, Falk took small roles in several films and landed his first big break with 1960’s Murder, Inc. He earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for the role. A year later Falk was cast in Pocketful of Miracles and earned another Oscar nomination.
Falk first played Columbo in the 1968 TV-movie Prescription: Murder. He then landed the regular role of Columbo on NBC’s umbrella series NBC Mystery Movie from 1971 and 1978. Falk later reprized the role for ABC’s series of TV movies.
The actor is survived by his second wife, Shera Danese, and his two daughters.
