> One of the entertainment news/gossip shows showed a video clip of Falk out and about a couple months ago. He didn’t remember where he parked his car and he was acting very confused and was rather unkempt. I remember thinking at the time that the poor guy seemed to be suffering from some form of dementia.

In fairness, that also sounds like a scene straight out of a Columbo episode.

“Now where on earth did I park my car? You know, my wife keeps telling me I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached to my neck. Oh, I hope you don’t mind, I just have one more question, if you don’t mind clearing something up for me.”
