Peter Falk R. I. P.
Peter Falk has died, age 83.
Best known of course as TV's "Columbo," I also think of him in "The Great Race," as Jack Lemmon repeatedly told him to "push the button, Max," usually with resulting ill effects. R.I.P.

Re: Peter Falk R. I. P.
I loved his Columbo characterization so much that I had trouble accepting him in other roles. That was my fault, though. R.I.P.

Re: Peter Falk R. I. P.
 This is how I first knew him, Columbo reruns came latter. Either way he was great fun to watch. |

Re: Peter Falk R. I. P.
I use to try to stay up late and watch Colombo reruns after the late news on the CBS station.
Here's a story on Jerry Lewis. Looks like he is too ill to perform: http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/0...australia.html |

Re: Peter Falk R. I. P.
He wasn't the star, but my favorite movie he was in was The Great Race with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon
