Steve Martin Turns 80, Continues His Prolific Career
As Steve Martin approaches his 80th birthday, the Hollywood comedian and actor continues to captivate audiences with his diverse talents. Known for his dry humor and versatility, Martin's career spans over four decades, making him one of the most influential figures in comedy and entertainment.
Martin's journey began in the early 1970s as a stand-up comic, gaining fame with appearances on The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live. His comedy albums, like A Wild and Crazy Guy (1978), and popular films such as The Jerk (1979), Father of the Bride, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles further solidified his status as a comedy legend.
In recent years, Martin has found success on the small screen, starring in the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building alongside Martin Short and Selena Gomez. The series, which blends comedy with mystery, showcases Martin's adaptability and has been well-received by critics and fans alike. The fifth season of Only Murders in the Building is set to premiere in September 2022.
Martin and Short frequently tour comedy clubs together, keeping their comedic skills sharp even after decades in the industry. Martin's silver fox status is a testament to his timeless appeal, with his hair turning gray in his early 30s.
Despite rumors of retirement, Martin has shown no signs of slowing down. His second wife, Anne Stringfield, a journalist and author, has been a source of support throughout his later years. In 2012, Martin became a father for the second time at the age of 67, and his daughter's birth was announced by his spokesperson.
Martin's talents extend beyond comedy and acting. He is a Grammy-winning banjo player and has released several albums that topped the bluegrass charts. In 2013, he was honored with an Oscar for his lifetime achievement and contributions to film.
Most recently, Martin showcased his versatility on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, discussing his new book, new single, and upcoming work on Only Murders in the Building. As of August 2025, Martin remains actively involved in the entertainment industry with no confirmed retirement plans.
