Martin was born in Manhattan to Dean Martin and his first wife, Elizabeth Anne "Betty" McDonald. She moved to Beverly Hills, California, with her family by the age of one. She later went to live with her father and his second wife, Jeanne Biegger. During her childhood, it was not unusual for his Rat Pack friends, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., to visit. Being around them persuaded her to pursue a career in entertainment.[3]

Martin trained professionally at the Dartington College of Arts in the United Kingdom.[4] Her theatrical credits include Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, and A Taste of Honey.[5] She co-starred in the National Broadway tour of Neil Simon's play Star Spangled Girl with George Hamilton and Jimmy Boyd. Other starring roles include Wait Until Dark, 6 Rms Riv Vu, A Shot in the Dark, and The Tunnel of Love.[6] She made her major motion picture debut in Young Billy Young with Robert Mitchum, David Carradine, and Angie Dickinson.[7] This debut led to starring roles in the films Strangers at Sunrise with George Montgomery[8] and A Voice in the Night with Vito Scotti.

A great story with a great guy! A real inspiration!

Beaux Atkins picked up a guitar and began playing for friends a few short years ago. With a big soulful southern voice and an equally big charismatic personality, he has worked hard at winning fans until he now is able to earn his living playing music and singing across the Deep South. He has shared the stage with the likes of Blackberry Smoke, The Benjy Davis Project, Frank Foster, Cody Canada and the Departed, The Eli Young Band, Corey Smith, and more. The natural progression to accompany this gigging success was to make an album that showcases the talent and hard work he lays out to his fans every night.
