Peter Falk, who died last week at 83, had a varied and celebrated career, including film and the Broadway stage. He received his first Oscar nomination for his first movie role. Both his stage and screen work varied from madcap to manic, from amenable to antagonistic.
But he will always be best remembered by most for his TV portrayal of the disheveled and deceptively clever Lt. Columbo. His rumpled raincoat, his ever-present stogie, his mussed hair, his rattletrap Peugeot and his perfect -- and false -- obsequious courtesy are as much a part of television history as Jack Lord's "Book 'em, Dano" and tough guy Telly Savalas' "Kojak" sweetened by an affection for lollypops.
