Steve Martin, the timeless actor, has not only defied the conventional retirement age but has also experienced a late-career resurgence. Married to Anne Stringfield in 2007, Martin became a first-time father at the age of 67 when the couple welcomed their daughter in 2012. Despite his advancing age, Martin’s popularity remains unwavering.

Expressing a readiness to bid farewell to his career, Martin shared, “There’s a time in your career when people are dying to see you… Now is the time in my career when I’m the one who’s got to show up.” Currently starring in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” alongside Martin Short and Selena Gomez, Martin emphasizes the organic development of his character, dismissing the traditional character arc.

Looking ahead, Martin affirms that after the completion of the television show, he won’t actively seek other projects, including movies or cameos. With a career marked by 19 SNL special guest appearances and 15 hosting gigs, Martin’s decision to retire comes amid Emmy nominations for his role in “Only Murders in the Building.” The veteran actor aims to conclude his illustrious career on a high note, leaving behind a legacy of diverse accomplishments.
