But it was 1979’s film The Jerk, which Martin co-wrote, that fully launched him as a comedic superstar and set the course for a career which continues to thrive. After The Jerk, Steve Martin went on to star in a host of highly successful films, including: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid (1982), The Man with Two Brains (1983), All of Me (1984), Three Amigos (1986), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Roxanne (1987), Planes Trains and Automobiles (1987), Parenthood (1989), L.A.

The novellas Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My company were also both written by Martin, and in 2007 he published Born Standing Up, his memoirs.
