Sisters Veronica and Angela Cartwright

Came upon this on YouTube and thought it was interesting enough to post. Veronica is kind of a DL icon, isn't she?

Veronica got so fat she makes Dolly Parton at her fattest seem svelte in comparison.

R2 Are you sure you don't mean Angela?

They seem so authentic and happy. How did that happen in Hollywood? (Especially after Dr. Smith, Will and the Robot) hogged every scene on Angela's show)

Did the hairstylist call in sick?

They do seem nice and sane.

I wonder if Angela deliberately gave up on acting or the offers just dried up. I know she became an artist and wrote or cowrote a few books. it was fun seeing her cameo on the Netflix Lost in Space.

I've always liked Veronica as an actress and I think it's a shame she didn't hit it big. Still she works a lot which is more than most actors can say.

They're both so cute! Thanks for sharing, OP!

The best performance Veronica gave was in Witches of Eastwick.

Thanks OP. I had no idea about Veronica's history. Great story. IMDB pages are amazing.

And don't forget, Veronica played Jack's clueless mom on Will and Grace!

Am I the last person in the known universe to find out that Veronica and Angela Cartwright were born in England‽‽‽

R4 No I mean Veronica. God she got plump. Angela has been the chubby one for the longest time though.

Veronica was a bitch assistant district attorney on "LA Law" who made Susan Dey seem warm and sympathetic.

Veronica used to be almost too thin. I think the extra weight looks fine on her.

I read somewhere that Bill Mumy had a crush on Angela while they were on “Lost in Space” together and that they dated and were engaged for a short time after the show was over.

R15 Here you go. He starts to discuss his crush on Angela around the 9:30 mark.

Here you go what? They screwed. He says so. That's why Plummer beat her ass in SOM.

Angela was a real scene-stealer in "Make Room For Daddy". I had forgotten that Veronica was also a child actress as Violet Rutherford in "Leave It To Beaver".

There was a thread about that interview last year but the OP was red-tagged and the link died.

Veronica was also great in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

They were in so much stuff. I forgot Veronica was in Make Room For Daddy.

R21, she wasn't. Angela was.

Do they talk about their father Ben?

I had no idea they were even related.

These two should do a stage version of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, and just to keep it interesting each night when the audience arrives they get to vote on who will play which part.

I wish someone could explain the algorithms of YouTube to me as this just popped up on my feed and I wonder why? Regardless, it made me think of this thread and come post it here. It is a very impressive child actor screen test for the part she got. Though keeping the dark hair always bothered me unless they were going to give her the backstory of being the milkman’s daughter.

Veronica always makes a big deal out of being British

“Well I didn’t mind working with Hitchcock because he was British AND I WAS BRITISH TOO, so I didn’t mind his sense of humor! I got the role in Alien easily because I could work over there without any problems BECAUSE IM BRITISH, YOU KNOW! .......I went over to Britain & got a job BECAUSE IM BRITISH and did Inserts .....”

Angela's pretty even with the extra weight. Veronica was fug, especially in West Side Story.

Veronica was in West Side Story?

Anybodys was not Veronica. It was Susan Oakes. Veronica would have been 11 to12 when WSS was filmed.

Well fuck me. I thought she was that filthy dyke careening through sewers all these years.

They both seem very likable, and I’ve always thought Veronica was a fine actress.

Love them both, but Veronica is my favorite simply because of ALL the iconic films she's done.

The Children's Hour, The Birds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alien, and The Witches of Eastwick.

My fave is Alien. Her performance as Lambert is incredible. Her "Oh God..." of revulsion when the xenomorph bursts out of John Hurt's chest makes the scene. And her terrified hysteria in other scenes is so authentic.

Love me some Veronica

Personally I like her reaction to Donald Sutherland at the end of Body Snatchers.

Angela's Brigitta was my favorite Von Trapp after Freidrich.

My favorite was the Captain.
