During his final years, Falk faced health challenges, including Alzheimer's disease. As his condition worsened, his second wife, Shera Danese, became his primary caregiver. However, it is reported that Falk's daughters had a difficult time with Danese's involvement in their father's life.
Catherine Falk, one of Peter Falk's daughters from his first marriage to Alyce Mayo, publicly expressed her concerns about her father's well-being. She alleged that her stepmother was isolating Falk from his family and friends, making it challenging for them to spend quality time with him. Catherine claimed that she had not been allowed to see her father for several months leading up to his death, which caused immense distress for her.
A legal battle ensued between Catherine and Shera Danese following Peter Falk's death. Catherine filed a lawsuit against Danese, asserting that she had unduly influenced Falk and prevented his children from seeing him during his final years. The case was eventually settled out of court, with the terms remaining undisclosed. Join us as Facts Verse presents: He Died 12 Years Ago, Now Peter Falk's Daughters Confirm the Rumors

Peter Falk was never considered a male hunk but I thought he was quite handsome. As an immensely creative actor he certainly didn’t need to depend on his looks. He made the Colombo character an iconic entertainment world character that still impresses today. I, for one, watch Columbo reruns over and over. So seductive is the uniquely entertaining TV detective brought to audiences by Peter Falk’s artistic actor legacy, is that they never get old.

My husband and I were in LA driving around the nicer neighborhoods. Can’t remember if we were in Beverly Hills or Bel Air but here comes Peter Falk coming up his driveway to leave. His wife was driving but he was giving a big wave and a smile. That same trip we decided we needed to turn around so my husband pulled into the end of a driveway intending to backup. All of a sudden we are surrounded. We hadn’t noticed this small guard house which is where these men came pouring out. My husband immediately figured it out. He said you’re secret service? They said yes so yes of all the driveways to turn around we picked the Reagan’s. They were very nice. Quickly figured out we didn’t mean any harm and we were on our way.

He didn't smoke cigars in real life but did the best he could on screen lmao 🤣 smoked cigarettes. I believe he owned that car too!! You really could have fooled me lmao 🤣 for a long long time I did not know he had a glass eye truly amazing. He sure got around well just having one eye.🤗 His 2 basset hounds were on the series both were named 'Dog'. Lmao 🤣 From what I read he is a true gentleman. One-time Leonard Nimoy was on one of his episodes and he even said that he was really nervous playing the character that he was there to do but he had said that Peter was a gentleman to him and help him through it. I will always remember him as Columbo. By the way Columbo DOES have a first name lmao 🤣 Frank. He never uses it but in one episode during season 2 when he flashes his badge you can clearly see Lt Frank Columbo.

Those hypocritical gospel bitches almost deserved what they got, but, murder is murder, and he had to pay for it.

I hate when people die at all.

[@racheltaylor6599]

Just leave the man alone. He made the money notthe kids and can gi e it to whoever he chose.

[@loisisaacson2040]

Did this not happen to Kasey K’s daughters?????

[@audryangus4795]

BIG RESPECT TO COLOMBO🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@dawnj.belshawjohnson677]

No but going to look into Catherine Falk group because my father and my sisters and i cant see or talk to him due to his 2nd wife

[@shayelandry3966]

He was handsome in his own skin

[@Za7a7aZ]

The character columbo had a wife...did we ever see her in one of the episodes?

[@user-hi4ex4iz9y]

That's just SAD, why would ANYONE, fight over MONEY, IT'S A DIRTY PIECE OF PAPER. THAT'S JUST AWFUL, THEY SHOULD BE ASHMED OF THEMSELVES, WIFE, & DAUGHTERS!!!!! NO MORE FIGHTING!!! DIVIDE THAT MONEY INTO 3 EQUAL SHARES EVERYONE GETS A ( TH I RD) EQUALLY

[@annetteelliott1494]

His 2nd wife looks like a smug painted cold woman.....his 1st wife looks a real nice lady.

[@MrMaynardWR]

I knew them both. First wife Alyce was a smart sophisticated lovely woman. We didn't agree on politics and had many lively debates but I really liked her. Shera on the other hand was a low class opportunist.

[@NonRains]

Both are Money hungry women who selfishly claimed him for themselves and couldn't share!

[@jasonbiggss]

Family disputes get ugly and often Ridiculous. ""Mom wanted ME to have her diamond ring, not You!!!" Laws should be prohibitive and instructive with rules of civilized behavior, NOT just as a hammer for after an event. Society should spell out legal rights for all members of a family. Rights that any member can claim or abrogate. If a family member is a rat, a family member should seek for a family court to terminate those rights. IOW, how courts should work. All legal relationships should be legally protected. There should be no common law at all because only one Law is required. Faulk's legal papers should include his written medical and estate directives. The current wife rules unless Faulk made other or previous arrangements. If the current wife is rotten then challenge her ability to carry out Faulk's wishes. If his kids or ex-lovers challenge him and are found to be harassing, woe to them to commit fraud. Perhaps Faulk's alter-ego would be useful in solving the true motivations behind the participants besides true love. A person and/or their estate is not an infinite pie from which to steal an extra slice.

Love him

[@FactsVerse]

We're a big fan of Peter too. May he find peace.

[@ShirleyHymans-ln7cv]

Great as colombo

[@rachelsremedies2602]

Why do the family of celebrities want to throw them under the bus after they die! It was rumored that he was cheap! So what !!

[@annetteluaraharpburns8701]

She should be ashamed of herself

[@MrMaynardWR]

I knew all of the people mentioned quite well. The general point of this video is basically true but so much of the details are totally wrong.

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?

[@renatatarnawski5974]

They found out that Peter had Died On the News

[@joejohnson2478]

If money wasn't involved. His second wife probably wouldn't have interfered with his estranged children wanting to visit him. And probably his estranged kids wouldn't have visited him.

[@renatatarnawski5974]

When a person becomes mentally or physically ill, And the partner keeps Buzzing in their ear Eventually they give up fighting Because they Just Want PEACE!! -My dad told me at the end of his life I'm sorry I replued Let me guess Every time i visited then Left ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE he looked down Nodded And had tears in his eyes

[@mkidd8806]

She was his legal 2nd wife. Wonder where his daughters were before he got down with mental and physical health issues. I wonder what was truly going on! This is simular to a divorce. There is Her story then His story then there is the truth!😂

[@renatatarnawski5974]

@mkidd8806 there R Three sides 2 a story His side Her Side And What REALLY Happened

[@kathleenstamm3686]

Yep I knew all about it. Never had much respect for Shera Danese as an "actress" ~ In addition, what kind of person wants to keep a dying father from his children?? No class. Peter Falk was blinded by the face and body of his second wife. Personally, I thought his first wife (Alyce Mayo) had it totally over Shera Danese as far as looks and class. I enjoy watching reruns of Columbo. R.I.P. Peter!

[@renatatarnawski5974]

Columbo (show)had 2 cars Unfortunately Because they weren't taken care of They R falling Apart What a Shame

[@master-kq3nw]
