Veronica Cartwright

Film and television actress

Veronica Cartwright's family emigrated from England to the USA when she was still very young. Following a series of modeling jobs and print ads, she became a familiar face to television viewers as the "Kellogg's Girl" in a series of breakfast cereal commercials.

She made her screen debut in the 1958 war drama In Love and War, and, in the years that followed, alternated between film and TV work with roles in such features as The Children's Hour (1961) and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963), in addition to playing Lumpy's sister on the television classic Leave It to Beaver. From 1964-1968, the actress endeared herself to television viewers as Jemima Boone on the popular Daniel Boone series.

Her extensive filmography includes highly popular films such as: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Alien (1979), The Right Stuff (1983), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), and The Invasion (2007).

She was nominated for three Primetime Emmys for her work as the unforgettable Cassandra Spender in The X Files (1998-1999).
