Veteran American comic actor and musician Martin Mull has passed away at the age of 80. He died at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday following a long illness, as confirmed by his wife, Wendy Mull, on Friday.
His daughter, Maggie Mull, a TV writer and comic artist, also confirmed his death, expressing in an Instagram post: “My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, the sign of a truly exceptional person.
Martin Mull gained prominence in the 1970s through shows such as ‘Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman’ and ‘Fernwood 2-Night,’ and remained active in television and film over the next half-century.
Melissa Joan Hart, his co-star from the series ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch,’ paid tribute to him on Instagram, describing him as “a wonderful man who I am better for knowing.”
