Re: Another Legend Passes: Peter Falk

A fine actor, and anything he appeared in was, IMO, worth seeing.

I remember a story he told many years ago during a TV interview:

It was commonly known that when he was quite young (three years old), he lost his right eye due to a malignancy. Afterwards, he wore a glass replacement. As a young man, he was playing in a baseball game and was called "out" by an umpire when he felt he was clearly "safe," having beaten both the ball and the tag by the opposing player. He removed his glass eye and offered it to the umpire, saying "You need this more than I do!"

R.I.P.

Re: Another Legend Passes: Peter Falk

I wasn't much of a Columbo fan, but I enjoyed his work on The Twilight Zone as the dictator with the mirror that showed his assassins...

Re: Another Legend Passes

Yes, very sad news.

May Peter Falk be remembered for his many performances, including, of course, his famous Lt. Columbo, and may he rest in piece.

Sincerely,
