Martin Short is facing perhaps one of the most difficult phases of his life as he comes to accept the reality that his eldest daughter, Katherine, is dead. Losing a child is any parent’s worst nightmare, and nothing truly compares to the bottomless void it creates. However, this was not the first pang of heartbreak for the 75-year-old star of Only Murders in the Building. Decades before Katherine, Short had to learn to live with the agony of losing the love of his life, his wife, Nancy Dolman.
Behind the comedian’s ever-present smile and comics, there is a man who has been shattered but learned to pick himself up and be the best parent to his children, who also lost their mother. Take a look at Martin Short’s life with Nancy Dolman and how he learned to cope with the reality of becoming a single dad after losing her.
