Martin was born in Portland, Maine, but her early success was found in Canada. One of her first prominent roles was as the bookish sorority sister Phyllis in the 1974 Canadian slasher film Black Christmas. Two years later, she joined then-unknowns John Candy, Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara and Harold Ramis, among others, on the Canadian sketch comedy television series, SCTV, which was set at fictional television station SCTV in Melonville. Martin most notably portrayed leopard-print-wearing station manager Edith Prickley, whose dealings with the staff, including president/owner Guy Caballero, clueless newscaster Earl Camembert, and washed-up actor Johnny LaRue, helped to provide much of the show’s humor. Her other memorable characterizations included repressed sexologist Dr. Cheryl Kinsey, insecure self-affirmation guru Libby Wolfson, pidgin-tongued janitress Pirini Scleroso, tone-deaf children’s entertainer Mrs. Falbo, Texan curio pitchwoman Edna Boil, and impossibly tight-jeaned Melba, the Disco Queen. Her talent for impersonation was key in her humorous portrayals of such luminaries as Barbra Streisand, Ethel Merman, Sally Field, Sophia Loren, Beverly Sills, Lynn Redgrave, Linda Lavin, Bernadette Peters, Liza Minnelli, Mother Teresa and Indira Gandhi.
