Marc Cherry(I)

Broke into the industry by working as Quattro donne in carriera (1986) star Dixie Carter's personal assistant. She would later guest star on his series, Desperate Housewives - I segreti di Wisteria Lane (2004), as Gloria Hodge, and was nominated for an Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.

I was washed up. People just weren't excited by my name... That's one of the reasons I had to write something really smart.... That desperation you feel permeating the script is pretty real.
