Sherry Jackson (born February 15, 1942, in Wendell, Idaho) is an American actress and former child star. ==Early life== Sherry D. Jackson was born in 1942 to Maurita (or Maurite ) Kathleen Gilbert and Curtis Loys Jackson Jr. of Wendell, Idaho. Her mother provided drama, singing, and dancing lessons for Sherry and her two brothers, Curtis L. Jackson Jr. and Gary L. Jackson, "from the time they were very little." 〔 After her husband died in 1948,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curtis Loys Jackson (1908-1948) )〕 Maurita moved the family from Wendell to Los Angeles. By one account Maurita, who had been told while still in Idaho that her children should be in movies, was referred to a theatrical agent by a tour bus driver they met in Los Angeles. 〔 According to another, she was referred by the friend of an agent who saw Sherry eating ice cream on the Sunset Strip.〔 Apocryphal perhaps, but within the year Sherry had her first screen test, for ''Snake Pit'' with Olivia De Havilland, and by the age of seven appeared in her first feature film, the 1949 musical ''You're My Everything'', which starred Anne Baxter and Dan Dailey.〔 In 1950 young Sherry became friends with actor Steve Cochran while working with him on ''The Lion and the Horse''. Steve introduced his friend, writer Montgomery Pittman, to Sherry's widowed mother. A romance developed, and in 1952 Pittman married Maurita Jackson in a small ceremony on June 4 in Torrance, California, with Sherry as flower girl and younger brother Gary as ring-bearer; Cochran himself was Pittman's best man. In 1955 Cochran hired Pittman to write his next film, ''Come Next Spring'', the first that Cochran produced himself. Sherry played the part of Cochran's mute daughter Annie Ballot, a role Pittman wrote specifically for his step-daughter.〔 During the course of appearing in several of the ''Ma and Pa Kettle'' movies during the 1950s as Susie Kettle, one of the titular couple's numerous children, Jackson also appeared in ''The Breaking Point'' with John Garfield, the actor's penultimate role before his sudden death two years later. In 1952, Jackson portrayed the emotionally volatile visionary and ascetic Jacinta Marto in ''The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima'', and the following year played John Wayne's daughter in the football-themed ''Trouble Along the Way''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sherry Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
