She was cuter than Margot Kidder, Karen Allen, and Jessica Harper. But she had absolutely zero personality. I was half expecting a plot twist where it turned out she was a pod all along, the 'patient zero' of pod people.
I'm with you, SandyR. I thought she was very attractive and not a bad actress in the least. Nice husky voice to counteract Veronica Cartwright's higher-pitched voice.
