Short's Wife Dolman Dies at 58

Nancy Dolman, wife of Martin Short, passed away on August 21 - the cause of death remains unknown.  Doleman is perhaps best remembered for her appearences on the ABC cult sitcom "Soap", "Second City Television" and "Custard Pie". She also appeared in her husband Martin Short's critically acclaimed 1985 cable television special Martin Short: Concert for the North Americas.

Dolman performed in the Canadian Rock Theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar in the early 1970s, which travelled to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and recorded an album with the group at MGM while they were in L.A.

In 1980, she married fellow Canadian actor Martin Short, whom she had met during the run of the 1972 Toronto production of Godspell. This production also starred Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas and AndRea Martin, with Paul Shaffer as musical director. Dolman was Gilda Radner's understudy.

Dolman is survived by three children, Katherine Elizabeth, Oliver Patrick, and Henry.
