Born in England, Veronica is the older sister of popular Television child actress Angela Cartwright. In her early career, she was cast in a number of popular films such as 'The Children's Hour (1961)', 'Spencer's Mountain (1963)' and Hitchcock's 'The Birds (1963)'. As such, she was cast as Jemima Boone in the  popular Television series "Daniel Boone" which ran from 1964-66. Her career after "Boone" may have been influenced by Hitchcock as she appeared in both the remake of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers  (1978)' and the horror classic 'Alien (1979)'. On Television, she would appear sporadically as the  Lumpy's younger sister, Violet Rutherford on "Leave It to Beaver (1960)" and have a small role in the Television movie "Still the Beaver (1983)". She would also appear in "Robert Kennedy & His Times (1985)", "Tanner '88' (1988)" and have a recurring role on "L.A. Law (1986)". Her big screen features would include 'The Right Stuff (1983)', 'Flight of the Navigator (1986)' and 'The Witches of Eastwick (1987)'. Veronica would work on the stage in "Electra", "Talley's Folly", "Homesteaders", "Butterflies are  Free" and "The Triplet Connection". Alternating between Television and big screen movies in the 90's,  she appears in such films as "Hitler's Daughter (1990) (TV)" and 'Candyman 2 (1995)'.
