Throughout the years, Martin had dated his fair share of famous women, including actress Bernadette Peters, who was a frequent collaborator and co-star throughout the 1970’s and 80’s. They starred in Pennies from Heaven and The Jerk together and dated for four years before calling it quits.

His First Serious Film
Although he is best known for his comedy roles, Martin’s first appearance in a serious film was Pennies from Heaven, in which he portrayed music salesman Arthur Parker. In order to prepare for his first serious role, he trained with director Herbert Ross and even learned to tap dance. Unfortunately the movie flopped, and he said: “I don’t know what to blame, other than it’s me and not a comedy.”
