The Story Behind Steve Martin Going From Working At Disneyland (As A Kid) To Launching His Career At A Different Theme Park

Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland and Steve Martin in Only Murders in the Building.

I feel confident stating Steve Martin is one of the greatest performers to ever live. From filling stadiums while creating incredible stand-up work to Steve Martin's numerous great films, and his more recent work on the recently renewed Only Murders in the Building, he has wowed audiences for decades. He’s even an accomplished playwright and musician! There’s little the man hasn’t been great at, but it all had to start somewhere, and for Martin, it all began at two Southern California theme parks, Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.

When Martin was a child, his family moved from San Diego to Orange County, California, and this one simple decision may have changed the young boy’s life. When he was 10 years old, Walt Disney opened Disneyland. The place would change the lives of many, but none in quite the same way as it would Steve Martin.
