Dolman died Saturday, but no cause of death or any additional details have been released. According to Lt. Fred Corral of the L.A County coroner's office, Dolman was under a private doctor's care and there was no need for the coroner's involvement.

The Saturday Night Live and Father of the Bride star, 60, married Dolman in 1980. The couple met in 1972 while working together in a Toronto production of Godspell.

Dolman appeared in a recurring role on the prime-time TV series Soap in 1981 and retired in 1985 to raise her family.

The couple had three children: Katherine, 26; Oliver, 24; and Henry, 21.

An e-mail to Short's rep was not immediately returned.

Short is up for an Emmy for his role in Damages.
