Rare Sighting: Peter Falk's Actress Wife Steps Out
12 Mar
Summary
- Actress Shera Danese, widow of Peter Falk, was spotted in LA.
- She previously starred in six Columbo episodes with her husband.
- Danese also appeared alongside Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
Actress Shera Danese, famously married to 'Columbo' star Peter Falk for over three decades, was recently sighted in Los Angeles. The 76-year-old, once a familiar face on 1980s television, was seen dressed casually while running errands. Danese's career included six appearances on 'Columbo,' more than any other actress on the series, and a role in Tom Cruise's 1983 film 'Risky Business.'
Before her acting career and marriage to Falk, Danese was crowned Miss Pennsylvania World in 1970. She began acting in the mid-1970s, guest-starring in numerous popular shows. Her relationship with Falk began in 1976 after he saw her in her hometown, and they married in 1977. Despite a reportedly tumultuous relationship, Danese remained devoted to Falk, especially after his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2008.
Since Falk's death in 2011, Danese has maintained a low profile, making only occasional public appearances. Her last significant role was a brief cameo in 2010. She has continued to attend select events, including a 2022 premiere, in recent years.
