Biography
This silver-haired, physically expressive performer successfully shifted from being one of the most popular standup comics of the 1970s to a respected film actor of the 80s and 90s. Martin began as a sharp TV comedy writer, winning an Emmy for his work on the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" in 1972. By the end of the decade, he was a comedy superstar, filling stadiums, releasing platinum records, coining catch-phrases ("Well excuuuse me!") and making zany, inspired appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Saturday Night Live". Martin launched a successful film career with "The Jerk" (1979), a hilariously silly comedy. His laudably lowbrow early features gave little indication of career longevity but he developed into a leading comic actor and capable dramatic player in films including the off-beat revisionist musical drama, "Pennies From Heaven" (1981) and the unremarkable but pleasant mainstream comedy "Parenthood" (1989). Martin's most outstanding performances include his award-winning work in the farce "All of Me" (1984), in which his confused body had to accommodate the spirit of both his own personality as well as that of a woman and his surprisingly touching and graceful acting in "Roxanne" (1987), a modern-day comic revamp of "Cyrano de Bergerac".
