Martin Short’s oldest child, his daughter Katharine Short, changed her last name to avoid being targeting for being the daughter of a famous father.
Though Katherine occasionally accompanied her dad to industry events, she took measures to maintain her anonymity at work. According to TMZ, in 2012, Katherine filed a petition to change her name from “Katherine Elizabeth Short” to “Katherine Elizabeth Hartley.”
She wrote in the petition, “My father is a public figure. I am a psychiatric social worker. I am concerned about potential harassment from future patients resulting from my association with my father.”
