Charlie was born and raised on the island of Martha's Vineyard. His
parents, Holly and Marty Nadler, both worked in entertainment. In fact,
they met in the 1970s when Holly came in to pitch show ideas to Marty
while he was producing Laverne & Shirley.
Charlie lived in Los Angeles from age 2-7 before his parents relocated
to Martha's Vineyard where Charlie attended the Oak Bluffs Elementary
School, and then the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School. After
receiving his Bachelor of Science from Boston University, Charlie moved
out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Show Business.
While working as the Writers' PA on Cashmere Mafia, writers Mike Chessler and Chris Alberghini named one of the characters in their script "Charlie Nadler".
