My Take
For a lot of us Carter is forever Rhonda from Tremors, and that's no small thing, because Rhonda is the rare 'scientist' role in a creature feature who's actually competent, resourceful and never reduced to a screaming damsel. She holds her own against the graboids and against Kevin Bacon's easy charm, which keeps that movie's chemistry humming. The cult longevity of Tremors means her performance keeps finding new fans decades on. Beyond that one role she put in steady, unglamorous work across soaps and stage, the kind of dependable career that doesn't make headlines but quietly earns respect.
