- His remains were interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
- Best known by the public for his starring role as the title character on the television series Columbo (1971).
- Shera Danese, his wife, is awarded conservatorship of his affairs. [May 2009]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Underwent a series of major dental operations in 2007.
- Wanted to join the United States Marine Corps when he was 17, but was rejected because of his blind eye.
- Had been a heavy cigarette smoker since he was 15, but after he started playing Columbo he began smoking cigars as well.
- Diagnosed with dementia, probably brought on by Alzheimer’s disease, in 2007.
- Had a hip replacement. [June 2008]
- He was involved in a car accident when he lost control while driving, sustaining a head injury. [June 2008]
- Auditioned for the role of Ted Henderson in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), which went to Elliott Gould.
- 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).
- 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.
- Avatar’s voice in the animated movie Wizards (1977) (voiced by Bob Holt) was modelled after Falk.
- Was close friends with the late Patrick McGoohan.
- 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).
- 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).
- Has his lookalike puppet in the French comedy show Les guignols de l’info (1988).
- 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!”.
- Began acting when he was 26, but did not officially declare himself an actor and move to New York until he was 28.
- Biography in: “Who’s Who in Comedy” by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 153-154. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387.
- Had two daughters with his wife Alyce Mayo: Catherine Falk and Jackie Falk.
- 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.
- 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.
- His daughter Catherine Falk is a private detective in real life.
- 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.”.
- 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).
- 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!”.
- 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.
- 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.
- Was a certified public accountant.
- 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.
- President of his high school class.
- Attended and graduated from Ossining High School on Ossining, New York.
- His right eye was surgically removed at the age of three, because of cancer.
- One of his greatest passions was drawing and sketching; has studio on grounds of Beverly Hills estate.
