I loved his story about his fake eye!
Ha!
I think he would have been a great person to know. He'll be missed.

And Peter Falk was one of the great tv actors.

Silly rabbit: I liked the Princess Bride too. Is the fake eye story you're referencing the one where he pulled it out during a ball game and told the umpire that he needed it more than he did?
At June 25, 2011 10:11 AM, cube said...: Jan: I agree. Even now if I run across an episode of Columbo, I'll watch it. If I had any input into a network, I'd run a Columbo marathon right about now.

Sue: So true.

dmarks: lol. Give or take a vowel.

He was just a great no nonsense actor.
