I'd be remiss if I didn't note the passing of Peter Falk.
Smart, funny and intense, Falk was a remarkable screen presence and a terrific actor. He's best-remembered for playing the crusty, sly Colombo on TV for ten years (not counting post-facto TV movies and specials). He had his share of memorable film roles, too, including Murder, Inc., Pocketful of Miracles (both Oscar-nominated), A Woman Under the Influence, The Princess Bride and Wings of Desire. Of course, I'll always remember him as one of the stars of Neil Simon's Murder by Death, one of my all-time favorite comedies.
RIP Sam Diamond. You'll be missed.
