This week's Famous Face From Orange County is Marc Cherry of Long Beach. Marc is an American writer and producer. He graduated from Troy High School in Fullerton, CA and went on to California State Fullerton.
You probably know him best as the creator of the hit television show Desperate Housewives. Here's a little history behind how he got the show to air:
After HBO, FOX, CBS, NBC, Showtime, and Lifetime all passed on the show, Cherry got his big break when his agent was arrested and sent to jail for embezzlement. His new agents brought the show to ABC, which decided to pick it up. The series, Desperate Housewives, was an immediate ratings smash and generated enormous national (and subsequently, international) debate. Cherry received several lucrative offers from various parties, but chose to sign a long-term deal with Touchstone, since their network had shown faith in Desperate Housewives when no one else would.Cherry appeared as himself in an episode of Arrested Development, which was created by fellow Golden Girls writer Mitchell Hurwitz.
