Actor Peter Falk Has Alzheimers Disease - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A court document filed by Peter Falk's daughter says the Emmy-winning actor is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Catherine Falk is seeking a court's approval for a conservatorship of her 81-year-old father, who she claims no longer recognizes people. A hearing has been scheduled for late January.

Falk is familiar to most audiences as the star of the television series ``Columbo,'' for which he won four Emmys. He was also nominated twice for Academy Awards for movie roles in 1959 and 1960.

The petition filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court states Falk lives in Beverly Hills with his wife and recently had hip surgery and requires constant care.

A phone message left for Falk's manager was not immediately returned Tuesday.

That is so sad to hear. I loved Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo and also in the
films "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "The Cheap Detective." One
of my favorite actors of all time.

???? use of the "drool" smiley for this topic. Is that supposed to be funny?

Uh NO. I didn't know that was a drool smiley. When I looked at it, I thought it was just an overall sad smiley, so that's why I posted it with the topic, cause it's a sad situation.

I can't believe you would think I thought this was something funny. Instead of looking and reading about the topic, you judged me over a smiley face, or a sad, drool smiley. W/e

I didn't need to read about the topic as I had already posted this news.

What else are we supposed to think. I don't know you all that well, other than that you tend to go off topic unappropriately in some threads at times.

I thought the drool smiley was really inappropiate as well.

Wreckless · 12-16-2008, 11:25 PM

Supposed to think? What's their to think about a smiley? It's a misunderstanding and both of you, SBTB Geek & Tripper Fan are getting on me after a smiley. I was shocked to hear about the news and thought I would post it. I didn't post it for you to criticize me over a f*cking smiley attached to the thread. I like the actor and his work, so don't tell me it's inappropriate.

Zoneboy · 12-16-2008, 11:38 PM

Why not just change the smiley?

TripperFan · 12-16-2008, 11:41 PM

^ Thanks Charles

Yes - we very much like the actor too - hence finding the smiley insulting, and once it was brought to his attention, instead of just changing it, he has to argue.

I never said it was intentional.

Wreckless · 12-17-2008, 12:02 AM

Charles, good idea, but I don't know how to change smilies that are attached to the title of a thread. I know how to edit the title to something different and the first post, but not the smiley. Hmm...

Ok sorry for getting mad over it & making it look like I wasn't being serious about the subject matter. I was serious, I just used a wrong smiley, but I do apologize for all of this. My bad.

Click edit then go advanced, You'll be able to change it from there.

Wreckless · 12-17-2008, 12:18 AM

Thanks for the help man. I'll change it right now.

Wreckless · 12-17-2008, 12:19 AM

Apology or not, you've been warned about your language and your attitude. Clean up your act.
