美国电视界的传奇人物。出演的《神探科伦坡》在六、七十年代大受欢迎，而法尔克一共获得过12次艾美奖提名，其中5次获奖。法尔克扮演的嗓音嘶哑、衣冠不整的警探科伦坡看似迟钝，却总能在最后时刻将坏蛋绳之于法。这个角色也是对亨弗莱·鲍嘉在一系列侦探片中塑造的机警马洛形象的戏仿。
Arlene Martel is well-known to Star Trek (1966) fans as Spock's Vulcan bride, T'Pring, in the episode, Star Trek: Amok Time (1967). Born Arlene Greta Sax on April 14, 1936 in New York City, she spent her early years in one of the poorest slums in the Bronx. When her mother's boss saw her poor living conditions, he personally underwrote her attendance at an upper-crust boarding school in Connecticut. At age 12, Arlene assumed personal responsibility to audition for New York's famed High School of the Performing Arts. Not only did she gain entrance, she also went on to excel at the school--graduating with the school's top drama award. Her professional career began in her teens when she landed the role of Esther in the Broadway production of "Uncle Willie", also starring Norman Fell.
