Marc Cherry (born March 23, 1962) is an American television writer and producer. He is best known for creating the ABC dramedy series Desperate Housewives and the Lifetime dramedy series Devious Maids.
Early life and career
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 writer's strike hit as soon as Cherry arrived. Cherry broke into the industry by working as Designing Women star Dixie Carter's personal assistant.
In 1990, he became a writer and producer for the long-running hit sitcomThe Golden Girls, and later its short lived spinoff The Golden Palace. Cherry next co-created The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, a sitcom centered around four women married to brothers and their difficult mother-in-law, which had a brief run on CBS during the 1994-1995 season. Cherry also co-created The Crew (1995). On his own, he later created Some of My Best Friends, a 2001 sitcom that was based in part on the 1997 film Kiss Me, Guido.
"Certain actresses really don't like to wear bras. And we try to accommodate them as much as humanly possible.... So we've done a lot of blurring."
"It's a satire!"
"[Paul Young (Mark Moses), last seen at the mercy of Mike Delfino (Jamie Denton),] will be gone for a while, ... and then he'll make a surprising return."
"The first couple of minutes of the first episode will resolve all that in a fun and exciting way. We spend the whole first episode getting into the story between Mike and her and the new information he learned at the end of last season."
"I can't tell you about that. It was so controversial, people would write about it if it was brought up. Maybe when season six rolls around and [ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson] has been promoted to running Disney, he won't notice and I'll slip it in on him."
"We had a different actress in mind, a white actress, and that deal fell through. Alfre is a little bit older than our gals, but she just has a stunning face."
"[Alfre Woodard, who's a new regular, plays a housewife with a dark secret.] Her character was a concert pianist, ... She's going to be involved in something pretty gothic on the show ? pretty dark and spooky."
"My hope is it's a universe, and people drift out and sometimes they drift back in again. Just because someone leaves doesn't mean they can't show up in some other way."
"Eva wears size double zero in real life, ... so we do a very funny scene where she'll freak out in a department store when it's suggested she wear a size zero."
