Peter Falk has Alzheimer's


Hollywood legend Peter Falk, who made his name playing Lt. Columbo in the Columbo TV series back in the 70s has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia. His most recent work that's well-known was lending his voice to the movie Shark Tale back in 2004. His daughter is getting worried that people are going to start taking advantage of him and filed papers to L.A. County court asking for someone to take care of him full-time.

Poor fella. I've seen Alzheimer's first-hand, and it's not a pretty sight. Good luck to Peter and his family during this whole ordeal.
