Veronica Cartwright has been cast in Gotham Knights in the recurring role of Eunice Harmon. At first glance, Eunice may seem every bit the sweet old lady living out her twilight years in a nursing home. But that grandmotherly exterior masks a much darker side, one that harbors sinister secrets and has ties to an evil that has plagued Gotham for over a century. Look for her to debut in the series’ fourth episode; she will also be in Episode 7.
Cartwright is a TV and movie veteran whose credits go back as far as the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds; she also appeared on such early classic TV hits as Leave it to Beaver and the original Twilight Zone. The CW audience might recognize her as “Lily Sunder” from an episode of Supernatural!
“We are absolutely thrilled to have Veronica as a part of “Gotham Knights.” A veteran of some of the most frightening movies ever made – “Alien,” 1978’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” and Hitchcock’s “The Birds” – Veronica brings to the role of Eunice Harmon a uniquely chilling sense of danger in an otherwise unassuming package,” producers Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams said in a statement. “The character of Eunice was originally supposed to be a one-off, but we were so blown away by Veronica’s performance, we knew we had to bring her back.”
Cartwright is repped by the Jeffrey Leavitt Agency and managed by Mitch Clem. Gotham Knights premieres March 14 on The CW.

Veronica Cartwright is the right choice for this show and I still hope that her character turns out to be some kind of hot looking female from Batman’s past. It is rare to see a good villainess in any action series.
