So what do we think of Shera Danese?

Peter Falk's second wife, Shera Danese, holds the distinction of appearing in six Columbo episodes, including as the co-murderer in A Trace of Murder. I may be a sucker, but I actually really like A Trace of Murder (partly because I love Barry Corbin.) I also have a soft spot for Murder: A Self Portrait and I don't completely hate the character of Vanessa Barsini like I know some do.

So what's the general opinion on this totally-not-hired-because-of-nepotism actress? I kinda like her. I like the New Yawk spunk, even if it is the only thing she knows how to do.
