Sher was born on December 26, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish family. She was raised by her single mother, who worked as a schoolteacher. Sher has two siblings—an older brother and a younger brother—and is also a pet lover with three dogs. Her early interest in acting began at the age of eight when she participated in school plays and performed in elementary school musical programs.
While Sher appeared in various television series early in her career, many of those shows were either canceled or her roles were short-lived. Her breakthrough came with the ABC sitcom The Middle, in which she portrayed Susan "Sue" Heck, a lovable and optimistic teenager known for her perseverance and upbeat personality. The role earned her critical acclaim, including a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
In addition to The Middle, Sher had a recurring role as Gretchen in the acclaimed comedy-drama series Weeds, where she played the middle school love interest of Shane Botwin, portrayed by Alexander Gould. She also played Carrie Fenton in the ABC comedy series Sons & Daughters, which ran for just 11 episodes before being canceled. Outside of television, she appeared in a short film titled Stuck and has completed numerous commercials, including voice-over work.
Sher’s estimated net worth is approximately $2 million, reflecting her steady career in television and commercial work.
In an interview discussing her audition experiences, Sher recalled the lengthy and uncertain process she faced when casting for The Middle. She described it as tumultuous, noting that the casting team seemed to have both a vague and overly specific idea of what they wanted. As a result, she attended numerous callbacks over several months. Each time, she feared they had forgotten her or assumed she’d failed to meet expectations, as new candidates continued to be brought in. Ultimately, her perseverance paid off when she landed the role of Sue Heck, a character that would define her early career.
Despite being a public figure, Sher has expressed a general aversion to the internet and social media. She describes herself as having a kind of phobia of the digital world, stating that she doesn't engage with it regularly. However, she also acknowledges the importance of fan engagement and worries that her limited presence online might be misinterpreted as ingratitude. She emphasized her appreciation for fans and their interest in connecting, while clarifying that her personal comfort level keeps her social media use minimal.
Sher’s introspective nature led her to create The Emotionary, a personal project that began in her journal and evolved into a website and upcoming book. The concept of The Emotionary centers on inventing words to describe complex emotions, often by blending elements of two existing words. Sher described it as a space for exploring emotional language, change, and personal growth. She expressed pride in how the project developed into something far more substantial than she originally imagined, stating that it reflects her ongoing learning and emotional journey.
