Sherry Jackson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sherry Jackson (born February 15, 1942, in Wendell, Idaho, U.S.) is an American actress and former child star. She made her film debut aged seven in the musical You're My Everything, starring Anne Baxter. She appeared in several of the Ma and Pa Kettle movies during the 1950s as Susie Kettle, one of the titular couple's numerous children, and played John Wayne's daughter in Trouble Along the Way. Devotees of Our Lady of Fatima cherish her performance as the emotionally volatile visionary and ascetic Jacinta Marto in The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima. She is probably best remembered today for her role as Terry Williams on The Danny Thomas Show (AKA Make Room for Daddy) from 1953–58. Fans of the original Star Trek will recognize her as the sexually appealing android Andrea in the episode, "What are Little Girls Made Of?"
When Blake Edwards brought the character Peter Gunn from the television screen to the movies, Jackson was filmed in a nude scene that appeared only in the international version of Gunn, not in the US cut. Stills of the nude scene appeared in the August 1967 issue of Playboy magazine, in a pictorial entitled "Make Room For Sherry." The movie has never been released on VHS or DVD.[citation needed]
