Actor Peter Falk, who became identified as the squinty, rumpled detective in "Columbo," died Thursday at his Beverly Hills, Calif., home. He was 83.
In this 1972 file photo originally released by NBC, Peter Falk is ahown as homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo in the NBC series, "Columbo."
NEW YORK — The best way to celebrate Peter Falk's life is to savor how Columbo, his signature character, fortified our lives.
Thanks to Falk's affectionately genuine portrayal, Lt. Columbo established himself for all time as a champion of any viewer who ever felt less than graceful, elegant or well-spoken.
Falk died Thursday at age 83 in his Beverly Hills, Calif., home, according to a statement released Friday by family friend Larry Larson. But Columbo lives on as the shining ideal of anyone with a smudge on his tie, whose car isn't the sportiest, who often seems clueless, who gets dissed by fancy people.
