Columbo star Peter Falk liked to take his daughters to the park to watch people pass by. “The greatest lesson I learned from my father was how to size people up. He had a true gift for that,” Catherine Falk tells Closer. “He taught me how to analyze people’s gestures, body language and physical movements.”
The Emmy-winning actor, who played America’s favorite police detective on TV for more than three decades, shared a lot of personality traits with Lieut. Columbo. That’s no surprise because Peter played a big part in creating the rumpled yet uniquely perceptive sleuth. “My mom always told me my dad was Columbo long before Columbo found my dad,” says Catherine, with a chuckle. “He’d ask the same question like 20 different ways until he got the answer that he wanted. He was always curious about things.”
