One of the few child stars who successfully made the transition to grown-up actress, Sherry Jackson started her career at the age of five, appearing in such films as Trouble Along the Way, The Miracle of Our Lady at Fatima and the Ma and Pa Kettle comedies, before beginning a five-year run as Danny Williams’ daughter Terry on The Danny Thomas Show. She then went on to become one of the most highly sought-after leading ladies in film and television over the next three decades, including memorable appearances on such shows as The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Batman, Lost in Space, Charlie’s Angels, Vega$, Love American Style and The Rockford Files.

After taking some time away from the camera, Sherry Jackson has returned to acting, much to the delight of her millions of fans all over the world. We’ll talk about Sherry’s career, of course, but we’ll also talk about Sherry’s stepfather, Montgomery Pittman. One of the great writers to emerge from the Golden Age of Television, Montgomery Pittman wrote and directed many of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone, Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip and other TV series. He also wrote the screenplay for Come Next Spring (1956), a charming slice-of-life movie starring Ann Sheridan, Steve Cochran and a young Sherry Jackson that many consider to be among the best films ever made. We’ll talk about this, and more, when Sherry Jackson joins us in our first hour.

Sherry Jackson will be appearing at the Seventh Annual MidAtlantic Nostalgia Convention, August 9-10-11 at the Marriott Hotel in Hunt Valley, Maryland. For more information, go to www.midatlanticnostalgiaconvention.com.

Also joining us this week will be film and TV historian and biographer Paul Green. Paul’s latest book, Jennifer Jones: The Life and Films, is a sympathetic portrait of the Academy Award-winning star of The Song of Bernadette, Duel in the Sun, Love is a Many Splendored Thing and other classic films from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The story of Jennifer Jones is that of a young girl from a small town who falls in love with a powerful man who then proceeds to control her. It’s a classic tale that we’ve seen played out countless times in movies and on television — only in the case of Jones, that story is very real. We’ll talk about Jennifer Jones, her marriages to David O. Selznick and Norton Simon, her brushes with tragedy, and a whole lot more when Paul Green joins us in our second hour.


Plus: tributes to Whitney Houston and Peter Breck, and a brand new This Week in TV History.
