Peter Falk, born Sept.
26, 1927 in NYC, had his acting start back in the late
50's. There is no doubt he is most recognized for
his TV (made for TV) role as Columbo, which he first
started in 1968 (and he still makes these, last one we
know of was in 2003). In the 80's, there were 5
Columbo TV movies that Falk starred in. The rest
of his appearances were in the movies, a list that
includes All the Marbles (1981), Big Trouble (1986),
Happy New Year (1987), The Princess Bride (1987), Vibes
(1988), and Cookie (1989). For most of us, his
role as the Grandfather is The Princess Bride is
probably the most memorable as far as the 80's were
concerned, unless of course you watched TV with your
Grandma or Grandpa (Columbo was a big hit with the older
crowd). |
