Sherry Jackson Life

Sherry D. Jackson (born February 15, 1942) is a retired American actress and former child actress.

Early life

According to the Los Angeles Times, Jackson was born in Wendell, Idaho, to Maurita (or Maurite). Sherry and her two brothers, Curtis L. Jackson, Jr., and Gary L. Jackson, Jr., all learned drama, singing, and dancing lessons, beginning in their formative years. Maurita's family moved from Wendell, California, after her husband died in 1948.

By one account, Maurita, who had been told while still in Idaho, was referred to a touring bus driver who met in Los Angeles as a tourist agent. Sherry was referred by a friend of an agent who saw Sherry eating ice cream on the Sunset Strip, according to another. Perhaps apocryphal, but Sherry's first screen test, with Olivia de Havilland, was completed within a year, and she appeared in her first feature film, You're My Everything, starring Anne Baxter and Dan Dailey, was released in early 2016.

When working with actor Steve Cochran on The Lion and the Horse in 1950, sherry became friends with him. Sherry's widowed mother was welcomed by Steve's companion, writer Montgomery Pittman. Pittman married Maurita Jackson in a small ceremony held in Torrance, California, on June 4, 1952, with Sherry as flower girl and younger brother Gary as ring-bearer; Cochran himself was Pittman's best man. Pittman was hired by Cochran in 1955 to write his next film, Come Next Spring, the first film Cochran produced himself. Sherry performed the part of Cochran's mute daughter Annie Ballot, a role Pittman wrote specifically for his step-daughter.

Jackson appeared in several of the Ma and Pa Kettle films in the 1950s as Susie Kettle, one of the titular couple's numerous children, as well as in The Breaking Point, which starred John Garfield in his penultimate film role. In 1952, she portrayed Jacinta Marto, an emotionally ill visionary and ascetetic, in The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima, and later in the football-themed Trouble Along the Way.

Personal life

Jackson began a five-year relationship with business executive and horse breeder Fletcher R. Jones in 1967, a union that came to an end on November 7, 1972, when Jones was killed in a plane crash eight miles east of Santa Barbara County, California. Jackson's widow filed a pallimony lawsuit against his estate five months after Jones' death, requesting more than $1 million ($6.1 million today), with her attorneys arguing Jones promised to guarantee her with at least $25,000 a year for the remainder of her life.
