Sherry Stringfield is a popular American actress who is mostly recognized for her role in the TV drama series “ER”, in which she played Dr. Susan Lewis. She is also famous for her works in such movies as “Autumn in New York” and “54”. Let’s find out more about what she is up to today, dig for more details on her actual net worth, measurements, etc.

Early life and family

Sherry Lea Stringfield was born on 24 June 1967, Colorado Springs, Colorado USA, so under the sign of Cancer, and holding American nationality. Little is known about her family members, except that her grandmother was Swedish (Sherry’s father’s mother). She only once shared she had two younger siblings, but she never mentioned whether they are brothers or sisters.

Sherry and her family moved a lot, first to Albuquerque, New Mexico, then to the suburbs of Houston, Texas, where Sherry spent most of her childhood and youth. As for now, Sherry lives in Los Angeles.

Education

Sherry attended Klein High School in Texas and matriculated in 1985. Everyday Sherry had to go 48 kilometers on a round trip to get to school, as it was far away from her hometown, but it’s worth saying that Klein High School has other notable alumni, among them such actors and actresses as Lee Pace (starred in “The Hobbit” trilogy), Lynn Collins (the star of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) and Matthew Bomer (who played in the “White Collar” TV series).

Then Sherry entered the Purchase College, the Acting Conservatory of SUNY (State University of New York) and shared classes with another future popular actress, Parker Posey (who gained major prominence for her work in “Dazed and Confused” (1993)). Sherry graduated with a BA in Fine Arts in 1989.

Career

Early career

While studying in high school, Sherry participated in several musicals, such as “Mother Courage”, “Oklahoma” and “Fiddler on the Roof”. While in university, Sherry appeared in many off-Broadway plays – her college speech teacher helped her a lot in controlling her Texas accent!

Sherry Stringfield

In 1989 Sherry debuted on TV in the soap opera entitled “Guiding Light” (1952-2009), and was busy in the series from through 1992, and after that she was so tired that she took a year off her acting career to breath out, and to travel around Europe. After her trip she returned to her work, and was offered the role of Laura Michaels Kelly in “NYPD Blue” (1993 – 2005) working side by side with her on-screen ex-husband David Caruso who played the character of officer John Kelly. Somehow Sherry felt like a fish out  of water while working in the series, and quit the project before her contract was even over.

ER

In 1994 Sherry got the role which separated her life to “before” and “after”. She was to play the part of Dr. Susan Lewis in the “ER” drama series (1994 – 2009). She was nominated for Emmy Awards in the category “Best Lead Actress” three times for every season she appeared in it, however, even though she was tied by contract with the series and had to appear in five seasons, she decided to quit after the third season, and did it despite the unpleasant and uncomfortable feelings which surrounded the situation. – as Sherry quit much earlier than she should have, the contract forbade her to appear in any TV series or movie. She made herself busy with script analysis classes that she taught, and also directed a bunch of plays in the university she studied in.

After she gave birth to her first child, Sherry returned to the cast in 2001, as she strongly felt she wanted to work, Yet again not feeling quite comfortable with the filming schedule, Sherry quit the series in 2005, only returning in 2009 for the final episode entitled “And in the End…”. She shared once: “I am extremely grateful for the time I spent on ER. It is a wonderful show, and there are so many people I will miss. But I’m ready for new roles and new challenges”. Some of the members of the crew never forgave Sherry for her decisions to quit twice, among them was the executive producer of the show, John Wells.

Other movies and series

Along with appearing in the “ER” series, Sherry played the same role of Dr. Susan Lewis in the “crossover” police drama entitled “Third Watch” (1999 – 2005). She also appeared in such series as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” (2000 – 2015), “Tell Me You Love Me” (2007 – present), “In Plain Sight” (2008 – 2012) and “Under the Dome” (2013 – 2015). She was also cast in several movies, such as “Autumn in New York” (2000), “Forfeit” (2007), “The Stepfather” (2009) and “Hornet’s Nest” (2012). One of her latest works was her participation in the series entitled “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” (2016 – 2017).

Awards

Sherry’s performance at “ER” was way too successful which is proven by the numerous nominations she had during the years of her participation in the show. In 1994 Sherry was nominated with the cast by Screen Actors Guild Awards for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series”. In 1995, 1996 and 1997 she was also nominated for an Emmy in the category “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series”; in 1995 and 1996 Sherry and the cast won Screen Actors Guild Awards in the category “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series”. In 1996 and 1997 Sherry was nominated for a Golden Globe in the category “Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama”.

Personal life, ex-husband Larry E. Joseph

In the beginning of 90’s Sherry dated Paul Goldstein, a British businessman and the chairman of Nevica ski-wear. Their relationship lasted for around three years, but then ended as both agreed that their affair was exhausted. In October 1998 Sherry married Larry E. Joseph, a journalist. During seven years of their marriage they welcomed a daughter, Phoebe (born in March 2001), and a son, Milo (born on 12 April 2004). Sherry and Larry divorced in 2006, without ever explaining the reason for their split. As of 2019, Sherry is still single, and there are no rumors about a current partner.

Hobbies and interesting facts

In a 1997 Sherry appeared in a super-popular “Got Milk” ad (Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Venus and Serena Williams, and Rihanna took part in the ads). She confirmed she was lactose intolerant, but as a big milk fan let herself have a little sip on daily basis.

Social media presence

Sherry is not active on social media platforms, leaving all the activities to her fans. There is an Instagram account managed by her Argentinian fans, which has only 650 subscribers and has nothing to do with the real Sherry Stringfield. She doesn’t have Twitter or Facebook profiles.

Net worth

Authoritative source estimate Sherry’s net worth to be around $7 million, accumulated by starring in popular TV series and movies, always working hard and taking breaks only to give birth to her two children.
