Wolfgang Hammersmith photographed this black-and-white portrait of a young Steve Martin long before he built a lengthy career as a successful actor, writer, comedian, producer, and musician. Martin owns multiple Grammys, an Emmy for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy, Variety or Music, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Comedy Awards. His first starring role came in "The Jerk (1979)", which is one of AFI's 100 Greatest Comedies.
Like Steve Martin, photographer Wolfgang Hammersmith also has a wide range of professional interests. He has defeated a number of skilled chess players but competes without a ranking. Learn why on his new Chess website: http://wolfganghammersmithchess.wordpress.com
