Dang. A lot of you are hard on Lambert.
You know Veronica Cartwright won a Saturn Award for the role?
She has also been in a lot of my favorite films. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Birds and the ever amazing The Right Stuff are good examples.
She has also appeared on the X Files, Law and Order, and was even in an episode of the original The Twilight Zone.
I personally kind of liked Lambert.
One look at her cast photo and you can see why.
