Martin Short & Nancy Dolman: Photos Of Comic & His Late Wife

Martin Short & Nancy Dolman: Photos Of Comic & His Late Wife — Martin Short has had one legendary Hollywood career and it appears to be going stronger than ever! Hot off his latest season of ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ the Canadian comic, born in March 1950, nailed his ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosting gig, where he shared emcee duties with his ‘Only Murders’ co-star Steve Martin, with a special surprise visit from their other ‘Only Murders’ co-star, Selena Gomez. Martin was also recently tapped to play amorous candlestick, Lumière, in ABC’s Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration.
The high-profile roles are a long way from Martin’s humble beginnings as a struggling actor in Toronto. However, those early days of his career also marked the beginning of his romance with his late wife Nancy Dolman, as they met on the 1972 Toronto production of Godspell. The couple married in 1980 and adopted three children: Katherine, Oliver and Henry. Sadly, in 2010, Nancy lost her battle to ovarian cancer.
