Trivia

Daughter of Bette Davis and 'William Sherry'. Adopted by Gary Merrill Davis's fourth husband.

Mother of J. Ashley Hyman.

Wrote a book about her mother called "My Mother's Keeper". It was an attempt to degrade Bette Davis, in the same style that Christina Crawford had done in "Mommie Dearest". The book really didn't amount to much, and Bette Davis lived to write "This N That" in response to her daughter's attack.

On her sixteenth birthday, she legally changed her name from Barbara Davis Merrill back to Barbara Davis Sherry. She wanted to cut off all ties from her adopted father, Gary Merrill.

Has two adopted siblings: Michael and Margot Merrill.

Where Are They Now

(2005) Currently pastor's the "King's Corner Fellowship" church in Charlottesville, Virginia. Also has her own ministry show "B.D. Hyman" on "World Harvest Television" network.
