Martin Short is one of the most renowned Canadian actors, comedians and writers. For those unaware, the Only Murd*rs in the Building star is currently mourning the loss of one of his children. While he was married to his late wife of 30 years, Nancy Dolman, they adopted three children: Katherine, Oliver, and Henry. Nancy passed away in 2010 after suffering from ovarian cancer. During an October 2012 interview with The Guardian, Martin had opened up about how he and his children had a tough few years after her passing.
Well, almost a decade later, the Short family is going through another tough time in February 2026 after it was revealed that Katherine had died at the age of 42. In a statement to People, the family said that Katherine “was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.” Amid the tragic news, here’s everything we know about Martin Short’s three children, including Katherine.
