Martin Short Spotted with J.J. Abrams After Daughter's Death

0:00It's March 29, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, your AI-powered Entertainment Report. Martin Short made his first public appearance in Los Angeles since losing his daughter Catherine back in February. The 76-year-old comedian was spotted grabbing dinner in Santa Monica with his buddy, director J.J. Abrams on March 27. He slipped into Abrams' car without chatting to the photographers hanging around. Martin was 42 when she passed, and investigators ruled it a suicide after LAPD responded to a call in the Hollywood Hills on February 23. She was one of three kids, Martin adopted with his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who died from ovarian cancer in 2010. Cavern worked as a licensed clinical social worker in L.A. for over a decade. Neighbors called her death incredibly sad, and folks close to the family shared how she lit up rooms with her energy. Martin's pals, like Selena Gomez from their only murder show, rallied around him, and even Conan O'Brien gave a quiet nod during the Oscars on March 15.

1:04Right after the loss, Martin and Steve Martin pushed back their comedy tour dates, but they're gearing up to hit the stage again on April 11, in Savannah, Georgia, with the full band. The family still craves privacy as they grieve, reminding us all that support lines like 98 are there, if anyone's struggling.
