An only child, Amy Sherman-Palladino is daughter to comedian
Don Sherman & dancer
Maybin Hewes.
Originally a dancer herself, Palladino had initially received a
callback to the musical Cats, while also having a possible writing
position on the staff of Roseanne in rotation. When she and writing
partner Jennifer Heath were asked to join Roseanne, she put behind her
dancing career -- much to her mother's chagrin, -- and began writing
for television.
