Peter Falk and his second wife were married for over 30 years before his death in 2011. Though this was his longest marriage, the couple's public fights earned them the name "Fighting Falks."

Peter Falk, who wanted to join the CIA, is best remembered for his role as Homicide Detective Columbo in the "Columbo" series that aired between 1971 and 2003.

Even though he became a success, the role was not one he had wanted.

Additionally, his agent advising that he might face rejection for some roles due to his glass eye did not improve things.
