Hollywood acting  legend Peter Falk allegedly has Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. His daughter Catherine Falk filed legal papers claiming her father “requires full-time custodial care for his health and safety.”

According to the documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Catherine claims she is worried her father “can easily be deceived into transferring away property” and believes a conservatorship will protect Peter from “fraud or undue influence.”

A hearing on the matter is set for next month.  Falk 81, is best known for his role as brilliant but muddle-brained Lieutenant Columbo in the television series Columbo. He has been Academy Award-nominated twice, and won the Emmy Award on five occasions and the Golden Globe award once.  Alzheimer’s is just such a horrible way to go!
