Andrea Martin was born on January 15, 1947, inPortland, Maine,[3][4] the eldest of three children ofArmenian-American parents Sybil A. (Armenian:Սիբիլ Մանուկեան Մարթին;née Manoogian) and John Papazian Martin (Armenian:Ջօն Փափազեան Մարթին; 1917–2010).[5][6] Her paternal grandparents, fromVan, present-day Turkey, had escaped theArmenian Genocide.[7] Her maternal grandmother immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 15.[8] Her paternal grandfather, an amateur thespian, changed the family's name from Papazian to Martin.[9] Her maternal grandparents, who were fromConstantinople, started the Armenian School at theChestnut Street Church inPortland, Maine.[10][11][12][8][13][14][15] Andrea's father owned Martin's Foods, a grocery-store chain.[16] She has mentioned that although her grandparents "did not know what assimilation was," her parents worked hard to assimilate into the U.S. As such, Martin only connected with her ancestry later in life.[17]
When she was two years old, her mother was recovering from a broken leg, so she would often read to her daughter. She and her mother would often take turns reading Shakespeare,Paul Revere's Ride, andEdgar Allan Poe’sThe Raven. She took piano lessons when she was eight, reciting a poem about a kitten at the rotunda of thePortland Museum of Art and playing the piano there. Martin transferred fromNathan Clifford School to St. Joseph's Academy before entering high school. She graduated fromDeering High School in 1965, where she was a member of the Dramatic Club and won Miss Deering High 1965.[10] She subsequently enrolled inEmerson College.
Soon after graduating from Emerson, Martin won a role in a touring company ofYou're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. After frequent visits to Toronto, she relocated from New York City to Toronto in 1970 and immediately found steady work in television, film, and theater.
In 1972, Martin played the character Robin in a Toronto production ofGodspell, with a company that included future starsGilda Radner,Martin Short,Eugene Levy, andVictor Garber, and musical directorPaul Shaffer.[18] Two of her early film roles were in horror films, 1973'sCannibal Girls (directed byIvan Reitman), for which she won theSitges Film Festival Award for Best Actress, and 1974'sBlack Christmas.

Martin most notably portrayed leopard print-wearing station managerEdith 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. Other notable characters Martin played included Pirini Scleroso, an immigrant from Eastern Europe, organ saleswoman Edna Boil, feminist TV show host Libby Wolfson, and children's entertainer Mrs. Falbo. Her talent for impersonation was key in her humorous portrayals ofBarbra Streisand,Anne Murray,Ethel Merman,Arlene Francis,Pauline Kael,Sally Field,Sophia Loren,Beverly Sills,Lynn Redgrave,Linda Lavin,Bernadette Peters,Liza Minnelli,Connie Francis,Mother Teresa,Joni Mitchell,Alice B.
