Following Falk’s death, Catherine said she never had the opportunity to say goodbye to her father.
Speaking with Inside Edition, she claimed she had been kept away from him during his final years and learned of his death several hours after it occurred.
She publicly accused Shera Danese of preventing contact between father and daughter.
