Bristol, England, UK:
Veronica Cartwright (nata il 20 aprile 1949 a Bristol, in Inghilterra) è un'attrice britannica naturalizzata statunitense, conosciuta per i suoi ruoli nel cinema horror e di fantascienza e per una lunga carriera tra cinema e televisione. Iniziò a recitare da bambina dopo essersi trasferita negli Stati Uniti con la famiglia. Tra le sue prime interpretazioni cinematografiche figurano The Children's Hour (1961), diretto da William Wyler, e Gli uccelli (1963) di Alfred Hitchcock, nel quale interpretò Cathy Brenner. Negli anni successivi continuò a lavorare in televisione e al cinema, passando gradualmente a ruoli adulti. Nel 1978 recitò in Terrore dallo spazio profondo, remake diretto da Philip Kaufman, nel ruolo di Nancy Bellicec. L'anno seguente raggiunse la fama internazionale interpretando la navigatrice Lambert in Alien (1979) di Ridley Scott, una delle sue interpretazioni più celebri, per la quale vinse un Saturn Award come miglior attrice non protagonista. Nel 1983 interpretò Betty Grissom in Uomini veri, dedicato ai primi astronauti americani, e nel 1987 recitò in Le streghe di Eastwick accanto a Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon e Michelle Pfeiffer. La sua carriera comprende anche film come Flight of the Navigator (1986), Candyman 2 (1995) e Kinsey (2004). In televisione si distinse per il ruolo ricorrente di Margaret Flanagan nella serie L.A. Law e per le sue apparizioni in E.R. – Medici in prima linea e X-Files, che le valsero tre candidature ai Primetime Emmy. Grazie alla sua versatilità e alla capacità di interpretare personaggi complessi e memorabili, Veronica Cartwright è diventata una presenza riconoscibile del cinema di genere e della televisione, con una carriera che attraversa oltre sei decenni.
