He is best known for creating the ABC dramedy series Desperate Housewives.
Personal life
Marc Cherry was born in Long Beach and lived briefly in Oklahoma. His father was an accountant which required the family to relocate to California. After graduating from Troy High School in Fullerton, California, Cherry graduated from California State University, Fullerton's theater program and initially considered a career in performance. After winning $15,000 as a contestant on The $100,000 Pyramid in 1986, he decided to move to Hollywood and pursue writing work. His move came at a bad time; the 1988 writers strike hit as soon as Cherry arrived. Cherry broke into the industry by working as Designing Women star Dixie Carter's personal assistant.
Cherry was described in an article about him in Newsweek as a "somewhat conservative, gay Republican." Cherry is a registered Republican. He has since stated he "stopped being a Republican the second [Donald Trump's] foot hit the escalator."
On June 29, 2006, Cherry accepted Log Cabin Republicans' American Visibility Award at a dinner in Hollywood where the main award recipient was California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who received the club's "Courage To Lead" Award.
Career
In 1990, he became a writer and producer for the long-running hit sitcom The Golden Girls, as well as its short-lived spinoff The Golden Palace. Cherry next co-created The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, a sitcom centered on four women married to their brothers and their controversial mother-in-law, which had a brief run on CBS during the 1994-1995 season. The Crew was also co-created by Cherry (1995). He later created Some of My Best Friends, a 2001 sitcom based on the 1997 film Kiss Me, Guido.
In 2002, a talk with his mother prompted him to create a show about the lives of four middle-class suburban women. Cherry got his big break when his agent was arrested and sentenced to prison for embezzlement after HBO, FOX, CBS, Showtime, and Lifetime all stopped on the show. The show's new agents came to ABC, where they ultimately picked it up. The series, Desperate Housewives, was immediately ratings smash and sparked a lot of national (and later, international) debate. Cherry received numerous lucrative bids from various organizations but decided to go on a long-term contract with Touchstone because their network had faith in Desperate Housewives when no one else would.
Cherry starred several actors on Housewives with whom he had previously worked. Both cast members of The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, Mark Moses, who starred Paul Young, and Harriet Sansom Harris, who portrayed Felicia Tilman. Gloria Hodge, Orson's unhinged mother, is the role of Dixie Carter in season three. Alec Mapa, an actor who appeared on "My Best Friends," appeared on "Housewives" in a regular role as Gabrielle's stylist.
On the last episode of Desperate Housewives, Cherry appeared in a cameo as one of Susan's most touching men.
On April 5, 2010, former Desperate Housewives cast member Nicollette Sheridan filed a $20 million lawsuit against Cherry and ABC, claiming he assaulted her on set and wrongfully ended her employment. Cherry was also accused by Sheridan in her complaint that she was an enemy to other actors and writers on the show. ABC said in a tweet that they had investigated closely related allegations made by Sheridan and found them to be of no merit.
In their fight against Sheridan's assault charges, the main cast of Desperate Housewives, including (Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Eva Longoria, made statements in favor of Cherry. Sheridan dropped abuse charges from the lawsuit at the end of 2010.
In February 2012, the lawsuit was finally brought to court. The judge dismissed the battery charge against Cherry due to a lack of evidence, and Cherry was no longer a party in the litigation, which then concentrated solely on Sheridan's suspected unlawful termination by ABC. The jury began deliberations on March 14, 2012, with closing arguments being heard. The twelve members of the jury had failed to reach a decision by March 19, 2012, prompting the announcement of a mistrial. A retrial was set to begin on September 10, 2012, but the Los Angeles Court of Appeal found Sheridan had not been wrongfully discharged and suspended the appeal. On November 16, 2012, Sheridan's appeal to the California Supreme Court was dismissed.
Cherry and Eva Longoria started working on a new series, Devious Maids, in 2012, after the demise of Desperate Housewives. It had been designed for ABC, but it then aired on Lifetime.
Marisol (Ana Ortiz), Rosie (Dania Ramirez), Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez), Zoila (Judy Reyes), and Valentina (Edy Ganem), who work for celebrities or wealthy people, are the protagonists of this series in Beverly Hills. They not only clean the homes of celebrities, but they also put order in their lives, and often fall in love. These maids must contend with mysteries and reveals after one of their friends, waitress Flora, was mysteriously murdered in the first episode, and Marisol is urged to prosecute the crime and exonerate her son Eddie, who was wrongly accused.
Marc Cherry recruited Carmen Luna, one of the maids, even though he had worked with him: even for Devious Maids. Rebecca Wisocky, Melinda Page Hamilton, Valerie Mahaffey, Matthew Cedeno, Richard Burgi, and James Denton are among Devious Maids who had previously worked with Cherry.
CBS All Access had the order converted from series to series on September 24, 2018. Why Women Kill was created by Cherry, who was also planned to executive produce alongside Brian Grazer, Francie Calfo, Michael Hanel, and Mindy Schultheis. Imagine Entertainment and CBS Television Studios were supposed to be the production companies on the series. The series's first appearance on August 15, 2019 was announced on December 10, 2018, with $8.4 million in tax credits from California.
Cherry appeared in the "Righteous Brothers" episode of Arrested Development, written by fellow Golden Girls writer Mitchell Hurwitz. Cherry served as a judge and mentor for the Songbook Academy, a summer intensive for high school students run by the Great American Songbook Foundation and started by Michael Feinstein in 2014.
