Kerry Butler was born in Brooklyn, New York and, from the age of three, she knew that she wanted to be an actress. She started doing commercials until her mother decided that she was too young to be acting and wanted her to have a "normal" childhood. However, Kerry's acting was not simply a childhood phase. After much begging, her mother let her return to acting when she was ten and she's been doing ever since. Kerry has had a few small roles on television such as on 1, rue Sésame (1969), Un autre monde (1964) and On ne vit qu'une fois (1968).
