Peter Michael Falk Wiki Biography

Peter Michael Falk was born on 16 September 1927, in New York City, USA, of Jewish descent. Peter was an actor, probably best known for playing the role of Lieutenant Columbo in the television series “Columbo”. He also made appearances in various films such as “A Woman Under the Influence”, Murder by Death” and “The Princess Bride”. All of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.

How rich was Peter Falk? As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth that was at $14 million, mostly earned through a successful career as an actor. He is considered one of the best television actors of all time, and was rewarded multiple times for his work. He also had a well-known stage career, and all of these helped raise Peter’s wealth prior to his passing.

As a young boy, Falk had his right eye surgically removed because of retinoblastoma. Due to this he had to wear an artificial eye for most of his life, though it did not affect him much as he still played sports. One of his first acting opportunities was in a production of “The Pirates of Penzance” at the age of 12 years. He attended Ossining High School and matriculated in 1945 before attending Hamilton College, although he tried to enlist for World War II but his missing eye led to rejection. He then worked for a year as a cook and mess boy for the United States Merchant Marine. He went back to Hamilton and later attended the University of Wisconsin, before transferring to the New School for Social Research where he graduated with a degree in literature and political science. After school, he travelled to Europe and worked in (then) Yugoslavia before returning to the US, to study at Syracuse University, graduating this time with a Master of Public Administration degree, after which he found work at the Connecticut State Budget Bureau.

He joined a group called Mark Twain Masquers and started to performing in productions such as “The Crucible” and “The Country Girl”. He eventually quit his job at the Bureau and tried his hand at professional acting. He then got opportunities to act on stage in New York, for example in “Don Juan” and “The Iceman Cometh”. In 1956, he made his Broadway debut in a production of “Diary of a Scoundrel”.

Despite his success on stage, he couldn’t get film work because of his eye. He first appeared on screen doing small roles such as “The Bloody Brood” and “Pretty Boy Floyd”. In the film “Murder, Inc.”, he started to earn recognition and his performance would be the reason for more opportunities to act. He appeared in the 1960 series “The Witness” which earned him a nomination for an Academy Award. He then went on to appear in “Pocketful of Miracles”, “Robin and the 7 Hoods” and “The Great Race”.

Around this time, he started to be cast in various television roles, and became really well known because of the series “Columbo”. He portrayed the title character, who was a police detective, at times absent-minded. The character first appeared in “Prescription; Murder” but the popularity earned him the chance to continue the character in various films and his own television series. “Columbo” aired as part of “NBC Mystery Movie” and had a run from 1971 to 1978. The character then moved networks, and Peter continued to perform the role until 2003.

For his personal life, Peter married Alyce Mayo in 1960, and they adopted two daughters, but divorced in 1976. He married Shera Danese in 1977 and they were together until his passing in 2011. Falk was plagued by dementia later in life, and was then diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually at the age of 83, he died due to complications from Alzheimer’s and pneumonia. He is survived by his two daughters and wife.

#	Quote
1	Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck.
2	[on Columbo's appeal] What are you hanging around for? Just one thing. You want to know how he gets caught.
3	[upon losing to Peter Ustinov for the 1961 Oscars] When I hit the seat, I turned to the press agent and said "You're fired!". I didn't want him charging me for another day.

#	Fact
1	His first wife Alyce Caroline Mayo died in March 2016 at the age of 85.
2	His mother died in 2003, only four years before Falk was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
3	He was considered for the role of Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) before Robert Duvall was cast.
4	He was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6654 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on July 25, 2013.
5	Peter Michael Falk passed away on June 23, 2011, three months away from what would have been his 84th birthday on September 16.
6	His remains were interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
7	Best known by the public for his starring role as the title character on the television series Columbo (1971).
8	Shera Danese, his wife, is awarded conservatorship of his affairs. [May 2009]
9	Shera Danese, Falk's wife of 32 years, files paperwork with the court, including sworn statements from longtime CPA, attorney, friends and family members, stating she is already attending to Falk's affairs, Falk named her as his guardian when first diagnosed with the disease, and long-estranged adopted daughter's attempt to gain conservatorship and control of his affairs is not in Falk's best interests. [January 2009]
10	Adopted daughter, Catherine Falk, files for conservatorship, explaining that Falk has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease and, at age 81, he no longer recognizes anyone. Later sworn statements from the Falk family, family friends and associates report Catherine has been long-estranged from her father and would not handle his affairs in his best interest. [December 2008]
11	When actors are required to move from one location to another during filming on a sound stage, the exact spot they are to move to is marked on the floor, usually with a piece of tape. This is to ensure that they stand in the area that is preset for the correct camera angle, lighting, sound, etc. Part of Falk's trademark behavior as Columbo was out of necessity, as he pretended to scratch or touch his forehead over his left eye. In reality, he blocked the camera view of his good eye, so as he was looking down, he could locate the tape on the floor. That is how his trademark "pensive Columbo look" got its start.
12	Numerous press obits incorrectly stated that Falk won a 1972 Tony Award for Best Actor in a play for Neil Simon's "The Prisoner of Second Avenue". As listed on a Tony Awards website search, Cliff Gorman won the 1972 Tony Award for the play "Lenny". In addition, Falk was never nominated for a Tony Award in his career.
13	At 29 years old, he studied acting with the Mark Twain Masquers in Hartford, Connecticut, and studied with Eva Le Gallienne at the White Barn Theater in Westport, Connecticut.
14	After high school, he briefly attended Hamilton College in upstate New York. He was a merchant marine after he dropped out of college. He went to New York City where he received his Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the New School for Social Research in New York City. He received his Master's degree in Public Administration from Syracuse University in Syracause, New York.
15	He was awarded Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Ministry of Culture of France; the medal was given to him by Gérard Depardieu in March 1996.
16	Underwent a series of major dental operations in 2007.
17	Wanted to join the United States Marine Corps when he was 17, but was rejected because of his blind eye.
18	Had been a heavy cigarette smoker since he was 15, but after he started playing Columbo he began smoking cigars as well.
19	Diagnosed with dementia, probably brought on by Alzheimer's disease, in 2007.
20	Had a hip replacement. [June 2008]
21	He was involved in a car accident when he lost control while driving, sustaining a head injury. [June 2008]
22	Auditioned for the role of Ted Henderson in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), which went to Elliott Gould.
23	In 1961, he became the first actor nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year, receiving best supporting nominations for the movie Murder, Inc. (1960) and the television series The Law and Mr. Jones (1960). He followed up in 1962 by being doubly nominated again for supporting actor for the movie Pocketful of Miracles (1961) and best actor (he won) for "The Price of Tomatoes", an episode of The Dick Powell Theatre (1961).
24	Has inspired at least two Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters. Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races (1968) was based on Falk's Max Meen from The Great Race (1965), and Mumbly, the detective dog on The New Tom & Jerry Show (1975) was loosely based on Columbo.
25	Avatar's voice in the animated movie Wizards (1977) (voiced by Bob Holt) was modelled after Falk.
26	Was close friends with the late Patrick McGoohan.
27	Had a street renamed after him in his hometown of Ossining, New York. To unveil the Peter Falk Place street sign, he pulled off a trademark raincoat covering the sign (2005).
28	He and his good friend John Cassavetes made six movies together: Husbands (1970), Machine Gun McCain (1969), Mikey and Nicky (1976), Opening Night (1977), Big Trouble (1986), A Woman Under the Influence (1974) and one television movie: Columbo: Étude in Black (1972).
29	Has his lookalike puppet in the French comedy show Les guignols de l'info (1988).
30	During the June 5, 2000, episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn (1999), Craig Kilborn's third question to Falk during "Five Questions" was this: "Use the words 'Falk' and 'you' in a sentence". Falk chuckled a bit, touched his nose, and replied simply: "Falk... you!".
31	Began acting when he was 26, but did not officially declare himself an actor and move to New York until he was 28.
32	Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 153-154. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387.
33	Had two daughters with his wife Alyce Mayo: Catherine Falk and Jackie Falk.
34	Columbo's wife, of whom he often speaks, is never seen in the series. Interestingly, most of the facts that are supposedly known about Lt. Columbo's private life are up in the air and sometimes contradictory. This may be due to his character being somewhat forgetful or may be due to him leading a suspect with a "likely story" hoping they will trip up and reveal a clue. His car, a 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet, is in most every episode and is treated almost as a character.
35	Lt. Columbo's first name is explicitly and even doggedly never revealed in the series (i.e. "What's your first name? Lieutenant...") However, with modern freeze-frame capabilities, when Columbo flashes his badge in the episode "Dead Weight", the name "Frank" can clearly be seen on his ID.
36	His daughter Catherine Falk is a private detective in real life.
37	Once when he was playing in a Little League game, the umpire called him out. Falk thought that he was safe. He pulled his glass eye out of its socket and handed it to the umpire, telling him, "Here, I think you might need this.".
38	Peter's paternal grandparents, Louis and Ida Falk, were Russian Jewish immigrants. Peter's maternal grandfather, Peter Hochhauser, was a Hungarian Jew, and Peter's maternal grandmother, Rosa Heller, was a Czech Jewish immigrant (from what was then Bohemia).
39	Harry Cohn, head of Columbia Pictures and renowned for his boorishness and vulgarity, rejected Falk, declaring, "For the same money, I can get an actor with two eyes!".
40	In his first foray into acting, he took the role of detective in a high school play when original student-actor fell sick. He left college to serve as a cook in the Merchant Marines. He later received political science degree from New School in New York, then graduated from Syracuse University. He applied at the CIA, but was turned down. He took state budget department job in Hartford, Connecticut. Five years after he started taking acting lessons, he earned first Oscar nomination.
41	Falk put the damper on a rumor that his trademark Columbo raincoat had been placed in the Smithsonian Institution: said that it was in his upstairs closet.
42	Was a certified public accountant.
43	Worked as an efficiency expert for the Budget Bureau of the state of Connecticut before becoming an actor. Studied acting with Eva Le Gallienne and Sanford Meisner.
44	President of his high school class.
45	Attended and graduated from Ossining High School on Ossining, New York.
46	His right eye was surgically removed at the age of three, because of cancer.
47	One of his greatest passions was drawing and sketching; has studio on grounds of Beverly Hills estate.
