Born in Bristol, England, Veronica is the older sister of the popular
child actress Angela Cartwright. In
her early career, Veronica was cast in a number of popular movies such
as William Wyler's
La rumeur (1961),
La montagne des neuf Spencer (1963) and
Alfred Hitchcock's
Les oiseaux (1963). As such, she was cast
as "Jemima Boone" in the popular television series
Daniel Boone (1964), in which she appeared during the first two seasons
from 1964 to 66. Her career after "Daniel Boone" may have been
influenced by Hitchcock, since she appeared in both the remake of
L'Invasion des profanateurs (1978)
and the horror classic Alien, le 8ème passager (1979). On
television, she appeared twice as Lumpy's younger sister, "Violet
Rutherford" and once as "Peggy MacIntosh" on
Leave It to Beaver (1957)
and had a small role in the television movie
Still the Beaver (1983).
Cartwright also appeared in Robert Kennedy and His Times (1985), Tanner '88 (1988) and had a recurring role on La loi de Los Angeles (1986). Her big screen features included L'étoffe des héros (1983), Le vol du navigateur (1986) and Les Sorcières d'Eastwick (1987). Veronica worked 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 90s, Cartwright has appeared in such films as Hitler's Daughter (1990) and Candyman 2 (1995).
