Eden Sher's Real Name: Eden Sher
Eden Sher → Eden Sher
Quick answer: The actress is known professionally as Eden Sher. TV Guide and TV Insider both list her birth name as Eden Rebecca Sher and her birthplace as Los Angeles. Because those two listings come from closely related television-guide publishers, this page titles her with the public name and records the longer form below. TV Insider alone, among these sources, dates her birth to December 26, 1991, so that date is recorded in the body rather than used in the meta description (TV Guide; TV Insider).
Real name and early life
She is known professionally as Eden Sher. TV Guide lists her birth name as Eden Rebecca Sher and her birthplace as Los Angeles, California, United States, without giving a birth date in the biography. TV Insider independently lists the same birth name and Los Angeles birthplace, and dates the birth to December 26, 1991. This page records that date from TV Insider rather than treating it as confirmed by a second, fully independent publisher.
Career highlights
TV Insider says a visiting Jay Leno offered her a recurring spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after seeing her comedy as a child, and it lists later character work on The Middleman (ABC Family, 2007), The O.C. (Fox, 2003–07), and Weeds (2005–12), which it says she stayed with through most of its second season. TV Guide independently says she got her big break after appearing in a sketch segment on The Tonight Show and was nominated for a 2010 Young Artist Award for best performance in a television series. Both sources identify The Middle as a principal credit; TV Insider's credits list her as Sue Heck beginning in 2009, and TV Guide quotes her describing the Sue Heck role as an exuberant 15-year-old. This page does not add an unsourced end year for that ABC television series.
