B.D. Hyman (Kiernan Shipka)
Hyman, birth name Barbara Davis Sherry, is the eldest daughter of Davis, from her marriage to William Grant Sherry. Under the stage name B.D. Merrill, she played a small role in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Davis and Hyman’s estrangement began in the mid-1980s with publication of Hyman’s memoir My Mother’s Keeper and over the fact that Hyman became a born-again Christian and Davis would not follow suit. Hyman is now head of her own ministry in Virginia.
