Nancy Dolman, the wife of Martin Short, is dead after battling cancer for three years.

Nancy Dolman met Martin Short back in 1972 while the two were acting in a Canadian production of the musical Godspell.

Dolman was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 after doctors found a growth in her groin area. Paramedics were called to the couple’s home Saturday morning around 8:30 AM. It is believed she died at home.

Short was recently nominated for an Emmy as ‘Best Supporting Actor For A Drama’ category for his role in Damages.

Nancy Dolman is survived by her three children, Katherine, 27, Oliver, 24 and Henry, 20.

Our thoughts go out to her family and friends.
