Veronica Cartwright stars as Bun on ABC's "Eastwick."

Veronica Cartwright was born in Bristol, England and immigrated to the United States as a young girl with her parents and sister, Angela. She began her career modeling and doing print ads, eventually becoming the Kellogg's Girl, with commercials for Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Sugar Smacks and Rice Krispies.

At the age of nine Cartwright appeared in "In Love and War," as sister to Robert Wagner's character, followed by a semi-regular role as

Violet Rutherford on "Leave It to Beaver," where she was famed for giving Beaver his first kiss. Other shows followed, including "The Eleventh Hour," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the classic episode of "The Twilight Zone" entitled "I Sing the Body Electric," as well as numerous guest appearances and a role as Jemima Boone on "Daniel Boone" from 1964-66.

At 15 Cartwright won an Emmy for Best Actress in a Television Movie for "Tell Me Not in Mournful Numbers," an actual case-history of a young girl admitted to the Children's Psychiatric Unit of Los Angeles County General Hospital, thinking, drawing and speaking only in numbers. She has been nominated three other times for an Emmy Award: In 1997 for her guest starring role of Mrs. Huston in two widely acclaimed episodes of "ER," and twice for her pivotal role of Cassandra Spender on Fox's "The X Files" (1998 and 1999).

Cartwright has appeared in such television movies and series as "The Rat Pack," "The Lottery," "My Brother's Keeper," opposite John Lithgow, "Dead in the Water" and "RFK: His Life and Times"—in which she played Ethel Kennedy. She also had a memorable recurring television role as zealous prosecutor Margaret Flanagan on "L.A. Law." Most recently she has been seen in "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Cold Case," "October Road," "Six Feet Under," "Law & Order SVU," "Boston Legal," "The Closer," "Invasion" and "Will & Grace," among other series.

Cartwright's film career began in such classic films as "The Children's Hour," with Audrey Hepburn and Shirley McLaine and directed by William Wyler, "Spencer's Mountain" and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." She made her transition into adult roles in "Inserts" and "Goin' South," the first of three films in which she starred opposite Jack Nicholson. She appeared in two science fiction classics in the 1970s, Philip Kaufman's remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and Ridley Scott's masterpiece thriller, "Alien." In 1983 she starred as Betty Grissom in the epic dramatization of NASA's space program based on Tom Wolfe's novel, "The Right Stuff," also directed by Kaufman. She made an indelible impression on movie-goers in 1987 with her standout performance in "The Witches of Eastwick," alongside Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Nicholson. Other film credits include "Man Trouble," again with Nicholson, and "Candyman II," based on a Clive Barker story.

In 1997 Cartwright starred in "Money Talks," opposite Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen. Upcoming films include Darren Stein's comedy, "Sparkler," opposite Park Overall, and "A Slipping Down Life," opposite Guy Pierce and Lili Taylor. She has also appeared in "Just Married," "Scary Movie 2" and "The Invasion."

Cartwright's many theater credits from New York to Los Angeles include "Electra," "Tally's Folly," and "The Master Builder." Her performances in "The Hands of Its Enemy," "The Triplet Collection" and "Homesteaders" each brought her DramaLogue Awards for Best Actress.
