She is a famous actress who starred in several blockbuster films throughout the 1970s and 80s. Can you guess who?
It is Veronica Cartwright!
The 75-year-old British-born American actress – who is best known for her work starring alongside Sigourney Weaver in 1979 flick Alien – was seen on a rare outing in Southern California earlier this month.
She donned a black jacket over striped top, black leggings, and comfy moccasins.
Her silver hair was put in an updo as she showcased her natural and evergreen looks by going make-up free.
Veronica is best known for her work starring as Lambert in the aforementioned film Alien who was navigator of commercial space tug Nostromo which is returning to earth.
She had originally read for the role of Ripley – which was famously taken by Weaver – and originally disliked her character’s emotional weakness but took the role anyway.
Veronica said of the decision: ‘They convinced me that I was the audience’s fears; I was a reflection of what the audience is feeling.’
The move paid off as she eventually won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for the performance as the film was both a critical and commercial success earning a box office of $188million.
