Former actress Nancy Dolman, the wife of fellow Canadian Martin Short for 30 years, has died. She was 58 years old and passed away at their home in Pacific Palisades on Saturday, August 21st. Dolman performed in the Canadian Rock Theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar in the early 1970s. They traveled to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and recorded an album with the group at MGM while they were in L.A.
No further details have been released but she was reportedly diagnosed with cancer in 2007, place or even a reason for Dolman’s demise had been published. The Los Angeles Fire Department answered the call for emergency medical aid at the couple’s Pacific Palisades residence Saturday early morning, LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey said. Paramedics didn’t carry anybody out of the residence, Humphrey stated. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office have no file of her passing away, however the office may only become informed in the event that a death had been unexpected, or perhaps from abnormal reasons, a spokesman said.
One of Nancy more memorable roles was in the television comedy Soap where she starred as Annie Tate. The show was created as a parody of daytime soap operas, presented as a weekly half-hour prime time comedy. Aside from Dolman, the cast included three former soap opera actors. Robert Mandan (who played Chester Tate) had previously appeared on Search for Tomorrow as a leading man for Mary Stuart, and Donnelly Rhodes (who played Dutch Leitner) had played the first husband of Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. Arthur Peterson, Jr. (“The Major”) played Rev. John Ruthledge in the radio version of Guiding Light.
