Martin Short has opened in the musical "Fame Becomes Me" in San Francisco. Any reviews yet? It's still in previews, but fan opinion would be appreciated (or links to it)
Is there any truth that his name used to be Marty Schwartz? - Richardcavell 02:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
What is the proof that he is Irish - Catholic?
Why are all these listed (for the opening of Fame Becomes Me)? What bearing does their listing have on the work of Martin Short?
Additionally, the Troubles in N. Ireland would not have prompted Marty's father to come over because the Troubles started in '69, if memory serves, at which time Marty would have been 19. - 71.110.217.107 07:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Is there any information on this person that could lead to an article eventually? __ meco ( talk) 18:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Someone referenced E! as saying that cancer was the cause of death. yes, E! did say that, however I'd question their reasoning. I read the little article and there is no official confirmation. E! just speculated based on the fact that she had cancer in 2007, [[[User:Marymoss|Marymoss]] ( talk) 14:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
The article says he was married to his wife from 1980 to 2010, but in an interview today he says he's been married 36 years. Kathie Gifford obviously didn't realize his wife was dead, so he politely doesn't point that out. Even so, 1980 is only 32 years ago. Possibly he made a mistake, but it seems more likely the article is in error. 98.65.200.182 ( talk) 01:36, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Why is this show not listed in the TV filmography? Kakashi64 ( talk) 14:11, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
The article cited as the reference for the supposedly many names of Short's one-man show does not actually say that those names had been used for the show; rather it quotes Short as saying those were alternate names he had "considered" using; from the context one gets the idea that he was being facetious. "Sunday in the Park with George Michael" is obviously a reference to the Sondheim show Sunday in the Park with George and the incident where George Michael was arrested in a park for indecent exposure; this hardly sounds like a "serious" title for a one-man comedy show which obviously did not in any way actually feature Mr. Michael. 2600:1004:B12E:408D:B029:D7E7:58E1:ED64 ( talk) 03:34, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
According to this article, it confirms that his birthdate is March 26, 1950. If no one objects, I'm going to add it as a source. Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 05:06, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
