Which of Davis’s children were adopted?
Barbara was born to Davis and William Grant Sherry
Barbara was born in 1947 to Davis and Sherry. After Davis married actor Gary Merrill in 1950, Merrill adopted Barbara with Sherry’s consent, the Los Angeles Times reports. She was therefore Davis’s biological daughter and Merrill’s adopted daughter.
Margot and Michael were adopted by Davis and Merrill
Davis and Merrill adopted Margot in 1951 and Michael in 1952, according to TCM. The couple divorced in 1960. Accounts describe a custody dispute involving Michael, but the available reporting does not provide a complete or neutral history of the family’s private relationships.
#1 Best Overall
What is publicly known about the three siblings?
Barbara, also known as B.D. Hyman
Barbara later became known as B.D. Hyman. In 1989, United Press International reported that Davis’s will excluded Barbara and named adopted son Michael Woodman Merrill as a beneficiary. That report concerns a specific estate decision; by itself, it does not establish the full nature of Davis’s relationships with her children.
Margot
The Los Angeles Times and TCM report that Margot had a significant disability and received institutional care from early childhood. Those accounts do not establish a diagnosis or cause, so neither should be inferred.
Michael
TCM reports that Michael later became a lawyer in Boston. The available accounts offer limited detail about his later life.
