Emmys 2018: A Proposal Threat, A Mystery Man & the Night's Best Surprises
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.

- TriviaShe is the first woman in history to win in the comedy writing and directing categories at the same Primetime Emmys.
- Quotes[about working with Sherilyn Fenn on Gilmore Girls (2000)] I love Sherilyn so much and I don't care [to cast her for two different roles on "Gilmore Girls"]. One thing about the show is I just want the best people. I've just been looking constantly for a time to work with Sherilyn, and I'm getting very old and I could just get hit by a truck at any minute. I just simply can't put it off that long, so I'd just rather get her in and have her part of my world.
- TrademarksHer work is usually executed in a screwball-comedy style, with rapid fire delivered dialogue full of obscure pop culture references.
