Tough Relationship With His Father
Like many Hollywood performers, Martin had a difficult relationship with his father. After the premiere of The Jerk in 1979, his father Glenn said: “Well, he’s no Charlie Chaplin.” However, he did have a few kind words for Steve in the end. Steve shared: “He was very proud of the play Picasso at the Lapin Agile. If my father had always said, ‘Oh, everything you’re doing is just wonderful,’ would I have become an artist? Often when I’m standing onstage, I believe I’m trying to get my father’s attention.”

How They Met
Martin met his current wife Anne while she was working as a fact checker at The New Yorker. She was asked to review some of his comedy pieces. He shared that they “talked on the phone for a year before we even met.” It’s well known that Anne is quite shy, and Martin has admitted that despite his public persona, he is an introvert. That’s why the two keep their personal lives out of the public eye.
