kayo Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Court document filed by Peter Falk's daughter says Emmy-winning actor has Alzheimer's disease December 16, 2008 LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) -- 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's the saddest disease there is, IMO. I feel for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If you'd ask me I would of thought he had it 20 years ago. Yep, it's not easy for family members dealing with this disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
