Cherry Jones

Cherry Jones Headshot

Actress

Birth Date: November 21, 1956

Age: 66 years old

Birth Place: Paris, Tennessee

During her extensive career on the stage, heavily honored Broadway actress and occasional screen player Cherry Jones earned Tony Awards for "The Heiress" and John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt." Jones' affinity for independent, heroic females carried over into her screen appearances, which increased in the new millennium to include supporting roles as a fellow opponent of environmental poisoning in "Erin Brockovich" (2000) and the matriarch Grandma Buggy in "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" (2002). When she was approached to take on the role of the courageous and idealistic first female President of the United States on the espionage drama "24" (Fox, 2001-2010), primetime audiences were finally granted the opportunity to enjoy one of Broadway's finest actors from the comfort of their own living rooms. Further TV work on the comedy-drama "Transparent" (Amazon 2014- ) and the limited series "11.22.63" (Hulu 2016) brought the stage star a new audience.
