Falk conservatorship, Astor estate trial continues
02 Jun 2009
Judge Aviva K. Bobb, the same judge overseeing Britney Spears’ conservatorship, has placed actor Peter Falk under a conservatorship. Falk’s daughter from his first marriage initiated these proceedings which were fought by his second wife. The daughter is claiming victory because while previously denied access to Falk, the conservatorship now mandates that she be allowed a monthly visit with her father. Through an attorney, Falk’s wife is also touting a win by proclaiming “the hearing proved that Falk’s wife had provided top-notch care and should be allowed to continue that role.”
A recent discussion with a group of teenagers prompted an explanation of how adulthood and maturity are not mutually exclusive. This case brings that conversation back to mind. As people age and time becomes more fleeting, we all are sometimes challenged to tolerate people or distasteful situations as a testament of devotion to those we profess to love. Denying access or creating a hostile environment in which parent/child visitation becomes imprudent or unwise is, to us, a particularly loathsome act. Peter Falk’s long and distinguished career brought enjoyment to many people. We hope the resolution of this matter and the new ability to see his daughter will bring enjoyment to him.
Terry Christensen continues on the stand at the Anthony Marshall/Francis Morrissey trial. The defense attorneys are now cross-examining him. Though not charged with a crime, Charlene Marshall continues to be a regular source around which testimony about the alleged looting of Brooke Astor’s estate revolves.
No matter how often these stories surface, the chaos and pain that a single person’s focused hostility and/or greed can create is always astounding. And folks, until something happens to diminish this overwhelming sense of entitlement that defines so many people in today’s society, things are only going to get worse.
Forewarned is forearmed.
