Peter Falk & Alyce Falk with Daughters, Jackie & Catherine Falk

Falk family tribute: to my father, Peter Falk best known for his role as Columbo. This video includes: my father-Peter Falk, my mother-Alyce Mayo-Falk ( Peter's first wife-married 16yrs, together 24 yrs.), my sister Jackie, my grandmother(father's mother, Madeline Falk) and I. Created Sept. 2015

[@phdtobe]

Your mother was so beautiful. Especially so with her freckles!

[@harmonycosmos2923]

The way your father looked at your mom and you was so much full of love and joy. It was very cruel for his 2nd wife to isolate him from his beloved family, it’s certainly against his will. You are beautiful and strong lady Catherine, I deeply respect your courage and efforts for fighting for the family rights and improving the humanity.

[@deborahdeutsch7420]

Thank you for sharing your father with everyone who loved Columbo(who wouldn't?) A lot of baby boomers whose fathers were absent, distant, or self involved grew up with him as a positive role model. Your mother was and is stunning as are you. God bless you and your foundation.

[@tashan0405]

From London, watching Columbo right now...every Sunday it's all day Columbo on 5USA, I've always admired Peter Falk...a first class actor, I was reading your father's wikipedia and I'm outraged with what you went through a normal person wouldn't do this to someone's children...but you were blessed to have him as a father I've been enjoying your father's work since the early 70's and I'm still watching him today, Columbo my favourite character..may your father R.I.E.P

[@Karen-uu8qv]

I never miss an opportunity to watch episodes of Columbo whenever I find them on tv. It was my favorite show during the years it was originally broadcast. At age 80, I still find it marvelously entertaining.

[@Semiam1]

I love looking at your family album with the classical music underneath🎶

[@user-hc9yt5gd6r]

Peter was a great actor. Columbo was one of the best detective mystery shows ever produced.

[@paulacol2142]

Columbo had always felt like part of my family ,my favourite show of all time Thank you genius 🥇 for all the happiness you gave ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨👌

[@polinavader486]

Not so long ago, during the pandemic I discovered Columbo. My father was watching it and when I asked who was that clumsy but quite charming man in the old raincoat, he said: "Well, that's Columbo, my favorite detective series, watched it in your age. I just fell in love with the character, the series is truly a masterpiece for all time and all ages. The great actor brought his personality to the character and made him look lively, that kind smiling face is just unforgettable. But knowing the fact that such a happy family broke up, and a loving daughter you are was not allowed to take care of your father... It just wounds me. Thank you for sharing those photos! Love from Russian fans of Columbo 💞 Stay safe!

[@annakowalska9935]

Peter Falk made Columbo inmmortal. He is unforgettable,became a legend in Poland.

[@manichairdo9265]

5 generations of my family have enjoyed watching Peter as Columbo. Superb actor. His first wife is stunningly beautiful. Going to watch any movies I can find him in.

[@deborahmitchell6532]

I really love Colombo. He's my favorite detective. Very smart, handsome, and one more thing a great family man. I've been watching colombo for as long as I can remember. What can I say, he's just great. 👍

[@andree824]

Really enjoyed seeing all the family photos. Thank you Catherine : )

[@heather5726]

I miss watching his role as Columbo very much. It's heartbreaking to know you were barred from caring for your father when he was ill. He would have loved to have you there for him. It just breaks my heart. Elderly from Korea

[@JessicaGarcia-oj3pc]

His second wife was a greedy gold digger.....

[@williamajk]

What a joy it was to watch your father in Columbo.

[@kathleenwells1411]

There will NEVER be another PETER FALK! He is truly wonderfully unique and one-of-a-kind, for sure.

[@kathyurrely6336]

Kathleen Wells I know, and I was trying to streamline like "Prescription fir Murder", and they actually had another actor playing Columbo in a "Remake". Who would even create a "Fake Columbo". That would be like replacing Clark Gable in "Gone With The Wind." I consider it sacreligous.

[@alziraneves7235]

I never get tired of watching Columbo episodes. I have the complete series. Your father is one of my favorite actors. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil

[@victoriawu8786]

Just one more thing..... Columbo is my favourite show ever... beautiful family memories here. Love seeing him interact with his family. So wonderful to have.

[@scottmorgan6099]

Thanks for sharing,..I love your dad...& his work...

[@nataliapavlova2577]

Got the full set of Columbo's DVDs and watched it all in English! Thank you to your dad for speaking so clear I understood each word even being a foreigner

[@deborahplatt6364]

By far, my favorite actor of all time right alongside Lucille Ball. Not a stalker, but when I had business in Los Angeles (from my mid-20's), I would drive down Roxbury imagining seeing your Dad or Lucy walking down the street! Today, I look after my 86 year old Mom and our Sundays are filled with Colombo marathons........

[@ElmwoodParkHulk]

Loved your father and your mom was a beautiful lady , great memories here .

[@jackchurch7443]

Thank you, Catherine, for the video, and thank you for your advocacy.

[@garyvale8347]

growing up in the early 70's my family always loved watching Peter Falk playing Colombo .....he seemed like he was a nice guy in real life.....

[@zebibou0595]

A beautiful family. I am 28 years old and I watched the whole series "Columbo". Peter was a great man and you can be proud of your family. Mathieu, from France

[@petfan2948]

I still watch Columbo all the time and I've named one of my cats after his character. My Columbo really lives up to his name as he's always investigating everything!

[@annlyon6524]

A fitting Tribute to a remarkable man. Enjoyed his acting skills very much!

[@firesweep58]

I love Peter Falk! More now than ever before. He was one of those it seems like you could really lookup to. You don't see that often...especially nowadays. Much love to you!

[@brucew.5177]

What a Great guy. What a gift he still is. A treasure !!! Thank you for posting this...

[@lo8398]

I'm watching Columbo now. Your father is one of my fave detectives. Top two, with Monk lol. May he RIP. Handsome man too.

[@m.shabeer5968]

I have all of columbo collections i enjoy watching them again and again he was a brilliant artist

[@pjneslo8979]

Thankyou for sharing these special moments of your dad and family. You're dad was and still is one of my favorite actors. I remember watching Columbo when I was a kid after school.. What a great man he was

[@philiphughes4021]

You obviously have wonderful memories of your father. He could not have asked for a greater tribute.

[@buffalobraves9]

Thank you Catherine. I just loved your father so much, he was exactly like my Dad in so many ways (especially when playing Columbo). May you always have the happiest of memories of your life with your mother and father and know that you will see them again.

[@lizmelia1104]

Thank you so much for sharing :) Watch my box set of Columbo all the time. What a wonderful actor! So sorry for your loss.

[@donnawilcock5774]

Absolutely wonderful, precious photos of you and your family. Thank you for sharing!

[@neebeeshaabookwayg6027]

thank you dear catherine, for sharing this, and for all your hard work, as to helping families in need, as to injustice (and sharing what you father did for his mother, too)... good job, god bless, ... i am at that age of having an elder parent, left...

[@janetjohnson5475]

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pictures of your family. He looked so genuinely happy! I'm so sorry for your loss!

[@r36125yt]

I loved when he roasted Frank Sinatra on Dean Martin‘s comedy roast. He was one of the best roasters ever in that show.

[@Bronco46tube]

Even though we can't know the family dynamic that led to the schism between Peter's family and his second wife. There is no excuse for what went on in the last days of Peter Falk's life. I hope this organization can help stop this kind of thing.

What very special memories, Catherine.

[@domfrancis3140]

A lovely man, will always enjoy his work love the UK.

[@GG-yn6jw]

Always handsome, that beautiful thick wavy hair which was a trademark.😍 I love how he always put his arm around his wife, looking proud. Will always be iconic! RIP, beautiful Columbo🙏🌹❤

[@dannycounts2720]

Thank you. I loved your dad's acting.

[@primesetter]

Thanks for sharing. You were lucky to have such a father. He entertained the whole world & will always be in our hearts as "Detective Colombo". RIP. Respect from Pakistan.

[@martinhyizna3299]

Thank you so much, Catherine. Your father has devoted fans of which I am one. I just happened to see the Twilight Zone episode where your dad plays the irascible and paranoid Ramos Clemente, and couldn't help notice his already signature cigar-in-mouth. The way he spoke with that thing in his mouth is priceless. If I said I've watched every Columbo episode 20 times would be an understatement. I could go on and on, but will sum it up simply to say Peter Falk is an indelible character in my mind and heart and will be so for life. He is alive and well in our memories!

[@feliciamcparland4990]

What a beautiful family!! He looks so happy! Thank you for creating this for Peter Falk fans! ;-) He seemed like one of a kind.

[@josephneeland1374]

Thank You Miss Falk for creating this award winning Video and Documentary of your Blessed Father Mr. Peter Michael Falk! My Wife for Life and I LOVE, LOVE and LOVE Your Daddy Peter Michael Falk especially in Columbo!! I remember quite well as a little boy in the 1970's and 80's watching Your Father in Columbo and my Grandmother LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Your Daddy in Columbo and she gave me my LOVE, LOVE and LOVE for Your Dad as well. My wife and I recently watched today, Saturday, June 13th, 2020 an episode of Columbo where your amazing and highly intelligent Daddy solved the case from a man's bite and teeth impression from a piece of cheese and a piece of gum - simply amazing and great sleuth detective work where even the criminal was amazed that Mr. Columbo solved the case by a bite of his leftover cheese. The last words in this episode are the criminal saying "All from a bite of cheese!!!" My Wife for Life and I's favorite love-story-Hollywood-blockbuster Movie is with your Father Mr. Peter Michael Falk reading a bedtime story to his grandson in the movie Fred Savage "The Princess Bride!" A real movie classic!!! Thanks Again Miss Catherine for sharing your family legacy's heartbeat!!!

[@bw7471]

Your father was the best. Had the privilege of meeting him on a movie that was being filmed in my town. What a guy!

[@strength8015]

This is great I'm watching Colombo right now 😁

[@elisamastromarino7123]

Man! I would love to catch a guy who looked like him. Woot Woot!

Thank you for sharing this is beautiful. A side of Peter we usually do no see.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

It is a shame his first marriage broke up. They looked so close and loving. Pity he didn't stay with her.

[@sallopez7324]

Thank you! I'm watching the Columbo series again. He was a great actor and it is good to know a great Father.

[@trailerparkwisdomchannel7199]

This is so beautiful and what a loving family. He adored you all it was obvious. Your father's work got me through years of troubled times and nights alone when only Peter Falk could bring that level of comfort like a favorite Uncle to the World. Thank you for sharing some of the happiest moments of his life and yours.

[@fringillacoelebs4430]

In Russia, people really like the "Columbo" and greatly respect Peter Falk for his great contribution to the cinema! In my childhood, “Columbo” was shown on the main channel of the country on the weekend. After 20 years, I am revising the series.

[@djwillisyde7356]

Thanks, Ms. Falk, that was quite sweet. You rule.

[@trixietrog]

Beautiful tribute I love columbo. Your mother is beautiful and your father was very handsome. Beautiful memories bless you all ♡♡♡♡♡ at present am watching Columbo love & hugs from the UK ♡♡♡♡♡

I cannot envision a world without Columbo. We remember the rat pack with Frank , Dino and the rest. But there was mr falk pack. Himself, John Cassavetes, his wife Gena Rowland and Ben Gazarra. Truly independent talent.

[@shelleyseidita9039]

I loved Colombo and I can tell you love your daddy........♥️

[@jillydips9226]

This is so beautiful

[@dggd]

What a blessed life you have had. Your Mother is very lovely, and I'm a huge fan of your Father, his brilliant talent, and homespun wisdom...the real deal, as all authentic NYorkers possess. I was 14 the first time I watched the movie "Prescription Murder" when it aired on TV. It instantly became one of my favorite films - to this day! After seeing it, I remember thinking how I wished they'd make more of these movies with that detective - then voila, the Columbo series, and I was hooked. Truly a Columbo fanatic , along with millions of other fans, I salute Peter Falk Forevermore! So sorry I never got a chance to meet him, but a close friend saw him on the street in NY one day, and he gave a cordial hello to everyone...so that's good enough for me! Thanks for sharing this video and allowing comments saluting your Father.

[@YehoodToob]

I love to watch the Columbo reruns. I prefer the original ones...But when I watch any episode it feels like I'm putting in my favourite cuddly sweater. Thank you for posting these images.

[@marilyny.bennett5830]

So sorry that you had to go through this, but God Bless you for working on behalf of all children to make things right. I have been a big fan of Peter Falk for his entire career and it is obvious how much he loved his daughters from this beautiful tribute.

Catherine, your father was a remarkable actor. He seemed like a really good man off-screen, too.I want to be an actress and I'm studying a lot of actors and actresses. He's one of my models.I heard about you're organization and I support you.

[@Luvmypets123]

Thank you so much for this. I've just been watching 'Murder By The Book'.

[@beverlymcginnis1894]

It also looks like he was a great Dad.

[@MarieJesne]

Thanks for sharing these beautiful family memories. I'm so sorry for what you went through but you will always have the good times to look back on and cherish. ❤️

[@MichelServiere]

Your father is a legend for us here in France !

[@kathyurrely6336]

Goldwing Channel And in Budapest, Hungry. In 2011 I took a tour, and they have his statue with his exact likness, along with his hound dog, that he adoringly called "Dog". Peter Falk hemmoraged talent. I know I didn't know him, but I really have the feeling I did. That is one person I would have given anything just to meet once. I wish he had stayed with his first wife. I record all the Columbo's, but ever since I heard about how awful the second wife was, I delete those episodes. The old episodes are the best. The role was "Taylor Made" for him. What I find amazing is that after all that success, not a drop of concete. Quite a guy.

[@davidgifford7748]

Those are some sweet pictures. Thanks for sharing with us. Heading to FB now.

I watch him in Columbo almost everyday❤ I live in Chicago and it comes on @ 0500. It's a wonderful way to start the day💋 My mom has end stage dementia and it's such a tortuous situation to experience. No matter what happened, you have such wonderful memories of your father💋👄💋
