Martin Short's wife Nancy Dolman dies by Suzannah B. Troy

Martins Short's great love his wife Nancy Dolman passed away.   I am not a Short fan but I just saw a clip of the couple on the red carpet and all I can say is she was so beautiful.   Nancy Dolman exceeded beauty and she was praising Penelope Cruz to the Heavens which is clearly where she is now.  Nancy Dolman was a very talented comedian and actress that devoted her energies to her family rather than her career.  I saw a clip of the family and the couple of have beautiful sons and a daughter.  She was 58 years old.

Martin Short is a funny guy but clearly his greatest gift is the love he shared with Nancy Dollman.  Condolences.   I heard it was cancer related...heart breaking.

The couple was married 30 years.  They met both working on the stage play of "Godspell" and she was Gilda Radner's understudy.     There is another heart breaking irony because cancer would take Gilda Radner. I remember watching her on Saturday Night Live and laughing so hard.   Gilda's Place created by Gene Wilder still graces the West Village and a dear friend who's Mom is battlng stage 4 cancer seeks comfort there so Gilda's Place is still making a difference.

Again condolences to everyone that loved her which had to be so many and especially her family.  Nancy Dolman died of cancer at home.   Here is a link from People Magazine that gives you insight in to why Martin Short may have gone to such great lengths to make others laugh.  He lost his parent and brother by the time he was 21.

In the entertainment industry people changes spouses as often as cars so clearly Martin Short and Nancy Dolman were different and their love enduring.

Nancy Dolman looked  so magnificent in the clips from last year I was very moved watching her.   She exuded such vibrancy in the clips I saw.  Rest in Peace.
