Later, she enrolled at Rutgers University, from which she graduated at the age of 19, the youngest female to ever graduate in the history of the school. While in college, she was rewarded with the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarships by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

Sheryl’s professional acting career began in 1977, when she debuted in the film “A Piece Of The Action”, playing Barbara Hanley. Afterwards, she plated a number of small roles in TV series until 1986, when she was chosen for the role of Ginger St. James in the TV series “It’s A Living” (1986-1989), increasing her net worth by a large margin. Her breakout role came in 1989, when she starred in the film “The Mighty Quinn”.

During the next decade, Sheryl became more recognized as she appeared in bigger roles, such as “Mistress” (1992), alongside Robert De Niro, and “The Distinguished Gentleman” (1992), starring with Eddie Murphy.

In the new millennium, she continued to line up success after success, as she appeared in the films “The Jennie Project” (2001), “Barbershop” (2005), and “The Cost Of Heaven” (2010) among others.
