The Mail ^ | 4-23-08 | unattributed

Either the years haven't been kind to veteran actor Peter Falk or he wasn't having a very good day.

The 80-year-old former Columbo star looked dazed and confused as he walked near his Beverly Hills home on Tuesday afternoon.

I wouldn’t think he was popular enuff anymore. the paparazzi are swarming around britney, paris, etc.

I’m thinking it might be a case of over medication. I have seen older people get that way.

I'm still thinking it's very plausible that photogs were in his face hoping to taunt him into doing something they could capture and make some money on.

I have "seen" photographers "get that way."

..

Looks like he's just had it and is telling them to "GET OUT OF MY FACE"

It IS sad. I’ve liked him since I saw him in “The Price of Tomatoes,” soo many years ago. I hope he’s okay.

The proof is in the pudding.

Not just some photographer off the street can get near enough to Britney, etc, to get a photo...

This would probably be some paparazzi wannabe looking to get a photo he could peddle, make some money on and maybe get a leg up in the game.

Not popular enough? It sold, didn't it...

One of my oldest and dearest friends took herself off some of her medication. She kept falling and breaking bones. She has serious osteoporosis and spends way too much time in rehab because of it. She’s doing much better without all that crap in her system.

I can think of scores of US rags which would publish that pic, if they got an exclusive on it.

I actually think Mr. Falk looks pretty good for an 80 year old. Full head of hair and not that many wrinkles. Plus it looks like he does okay without a walker or cane. Looks like he is trying to shoe the parasite photographers out of his face.

Has anyone seen the 1995 movie “Roommates” with Peter Falk and D.B. Sweeney as his grandson? Falk played an old baker from the Polish Hill section of Pittsburgh. Great movie!

I hate the stalkarazzi. Pure garbage. One of these days it’s going to end in a bad way for one of them & everyone will wonder “why?”.

A world in which the Democrats are running two Marxists for President neck and neck IS a world gone mad.

“I saw him in “The Price of Tomatoes,” soo many years ago.”

It was on TV. I was a kid at the time but I still remember it as the first thing I ever saw Falk in.

That was a l-o-n-g time ago.
