His daughter, actress/playwright Jenny Sullivan, wrote the play "J for J" ("Journals for John") which was prompted after she found a packet of unsent letters a year after Barry's death that he had written decades earlier to her older brother, Johnny, who was mentally disabled. The play premiered on October 20, 2001. John Ritter, who in real life had a handicapped brother, played Johnny and Jenny played herself. Actor Jeff Kober portrayed Barry.
