  • Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
  • Performed in the Canadian Rock Theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar in the early 1970s, which travelled to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and recorded an album with the group at MGM while they were in L.A.
  • Once owned an antique clothing store called Reflections of Ambrosine.
  • Studied philosophy at The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada.
  • Was the understudy for Gilda Radner in the legendary 1972 production of Godspell in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was during this production that she met her husband, Martin Short, who was in the cast. Short dated Radner during the run, and he and Dolman didn't begin dating until 1974.
  • Plays the violin and enjoys skiing, cooking and playing tennis.
  • Aunt to Bob Dolmans and Andrea Martins two sons, Jack (born 1981) and Joe (born 1983).
