Early life

Sher was born Eden Rebecca Sher on December 26, 1991 in Los Angeles, California. She was raised Jewish by her single mother, a school teacher.[3] She began her acting career at age eight by participating in school plays, local theater productions and singing in her elementary school choir. Her interest in acting was ignited after her appearance in a Jaywalking segment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno gained network attention.[4]

Career

In 2006, Sher played the role of Gretchen in the Showtime comedy-drama series Weeds. Later that same year, she landed the regular role as Carrie Fenton on Sons & Daughters, which was canceled 11 episodes into its first season. In 2007, Sher played a student attending Harbor High in the final season of the Fox drama series The O.C.. She also appeared in the 2001 short film Stuck and television commercials for Capital One and Fruity Pebbles.

From 2009 to 2018, Sher starred in the ABC comedy series The Middle as Sue Heck, a quirky but optimistic teenager. In 2013, she won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The Middle.[5][6]

On May 30, 2018, it was reported that a spin-off focused on Eden Sher's character Sue Heck was in the works at ABC and nearing a pilot order with the goal to launch in midseason.[7][8] On July 20, 2018, in an interview with TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Sher revealed that the network had ordered a pilot for the potential series, to possibly launch in early 2019.[9] The spin-off was officially given the green light for a pilot on August 13, 2018 for a premiere the following year.[10] On October 5, 2018, the series was given the working title Sue Sue In The City,[11] but this decision was later reversed.[12] On November 21, 2018, it was announced that ABC had passed on moving forward with the proposed series.

Since 2023, Sher has been touring her one-woman show "I Was In A Sitcom" describing her role on The Middle, and the impact it has had on her life since.
