Comedian Martin Short was married to wife Nancy Dolman for 30 years before her death. "Our marriage was a triumph," Short told AARP magazine in 2019. "She died in 2010, but I still communicate with her all the time. It's 'Hey, Nan,' you know? How would she react to this decision or that, especially regarding our three kids. I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don't speak of them - that's wrong. That's based on denial that we're all going to die.
