==''Make Room for Daddy''== [[File:Danny thomas sherry jackson.JPG|thumb|{{center|Sherry Jackson with Danny Thomas on ''Make Room For Daddy'' (ca. 1955)}}]] {{BLP sources section|date=January 2016}} Jackson played the older daughter Terry Williams on ''The Danny Thomas Show'' (known as ''Make Room for Daddy'' during the first three seasons) from 1953 to 1958. During the course of her five years on the series, she established a strong bond with her on-screen mother, Jean Hagen, but Hagen left the series after the third season in 1956.

Worn out from the relentless pace of the production, Jackson left the program at the beginning of season six, once her five-year contract expired. To allow the writers to finish the character off, actress Penney Parker appeared in the role for fourteen episodes of season seven, in which the character gets married and moves away. Jackson's impact on the ''Danny Thomas'' viewing audience was such that, on February 8, 1960, she received a star for "Television" at 6324 Hollywood Blvd. on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<ref name=WALK>{{cite web|title=Sherry Jackson profile|work=Hollywood Walk of Fame|url=http://www.walkoffame.com/sherry-jackson|accessdate=February 1, 2015|archive-date=February 3, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150203031404/http://www.walkoffame.com/sherry-jackson|url-status=live}}</ref> Jackson did return as Terry for the premiere episode of the new series ''Make Room for Granddaddy'' in 1970.

==Later roles== Over the next few years, Jackson broadened her range of acting roles by guest starring in television series, appearing as a hit woman on ''77 Sunset Strip'', a freed Apache captive who yearns to return to the reservation on ''The Tall Man'', an alcoholic on ''Mr. Novak'', a woman accused of murder on ''Perry Mason,'' and an unstable mother-to-be on ''Wagon Train''. Sherry also appeared as a first season guest on ''The Rifleman'' episode "The Sister" playing the part of a horse riding sibling of two doting brothers. She played a gunslinger's promiscuous young bride in the Western series ''Maverick'' episode entitled "Red Dog" with Roger Moore, Lee Van Cleef and John Carradine. After a 1965 appearance on ''Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.'', she then made guest appearances on ''Lost in Space'' ("The Space Croppers", reuniting with her ''Danny Thomas'' co-star, Angela Cartwright), ''My Three Sons'', ''Gunsmoke'', ''Rawhide'', ''The Wild Wild West'' ("The Night of the Vicious Valentine" and "The Night of the Gruesome Games", as two different characters), ''Batman'', and the original ''Star Trek'' ("What Are Little Girls Made Of?").<ref name="Thomas"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Pick of Tonight's Best TV Shows |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-item-sherry-jackson-born-1942/170272867/ |work=The Daily Item |date=October 20, 1966 |location=Port Chester, NY |page=29 |access-date=April 14, 2025 |via=Newspapers.com}} {{Open access}}</ref>
