February 21st features two very notable Columni birthdays!
Rue McClanahan
First off a very happy birthday to Rue McClanahan! She had a long and illustrious career including runs on Maude and The Golden Girls. But, of course, to Columbo fans she'll always be Verity Chandler...the showy gossip columnist who makes the mistake of telling Undertaker of the Year Eric Prince that she plans to expose him as a thief in Ashes to Ashes.
It's never a wise idea to blackmail the murderer, especially alone on their turf.
She was born February 21st, 1934, in Healdton, Oklahoma and unfortunately passed away June 3rd, 2010.
Tyne Daly
Saucy Tyne Daly did two turns on Columbo. First off as murderous Dolores McCain in A Bird in the Hand.
And then, 18 months later, as retired prostitute Dorothea McNally (same initials are probably a coincidence) in Columbo: Undercover.
Daly has also had a long career outside of Columbo, especially as cop Mary Beth Lacey in Cagney & Lacey.
She was born February 21st, 1946 in Madison, Wisconsin.
