Lambert
Background
J.M. Lambert is the Navigation Officer of the commercial towing vehicle, the Nostromo.
During the events of Alien (1979) played by Veronica Cartwright
Lambert and the crew of the Nostromo are returning to Earth from outside the Outer Rim Territories when they are woken up from hibernation by their ship. They are required to investigate a transmission they receive that may be a distress signal. They land on the planet LV426, and Lambert, Dallas and Kane go to investigate the signal. While investigating a spaceship, Kane is attacked by a Facehugger. Ripley and Dallas argue about letting the search crew back into the Nostromo. Ripley wants to follow quarantine protocols, but Dallas demands she open the door to let them in, which Ash eventually does. The Facehugger eventually becomes unattached from Kane's face and he appears to recover. While eating their final meal before going back into hibernation, Kane starts choking and screaming and a Xenomorph erupts from Kane's chest. After Brett is killed by the Xenomorph, Dallas comes up with a plan to force the Xenomorph through the air ducts to the air shaft and then shoot it into space. As he is trying to find and trap the Xenomorph, Dallas is ambushed and attacked by the Xenomorph. When Ripley finds out the company sent them on purpose to find the alien and all of the crew have been deemed expendable, she is attacked by Ash. The remaining members of the crew, Ripley, Parker and Lambert, decide to take their chances in the escape ship. While getting supplies for the escape ship, Lambert and Parker are ambushed by the Alien and they are both killed.
