Peter Falk died today, having had AD according to his family. Sad, I liked him & Campbell as well. But AD, as we all know, plays no favorites. It has always made me wonder about the number of actors who have AD--from Reagan, Heston, etc. Their stock in trade is their memory. How can that be?
Falk's 1960 marriage to fellow Syracuse University student Alyce Mayo ended in divorce in 1976. He married Shera Danese, who appeared in six Columbo movies, in 1977. His daughter Catherine Falk filed for conservatorship of his estate in December 2008, touching off a legal feud with Danese, who Falk had named legal guardian when he was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
