June Lockhart Turns 100: A Celebration Of The Beloved Actress
Forbes ^ | 6/25/25 | Marc Berman

Posted on 06/25/2025 7:16:54 AM PDT by Borges

Today we wish June Lockhart, the veteran actress and television icon a Happy 100th Birthday!

Naturally, we immediately think of June Lockhart for her roles as TV mothers. First there was Ruth Martin in Lassie, young Timmy’s (Jon Provost) Mom from 1958 to 1964. Ms. Lockhart replaced Cloris Leachman (who in turn replaced Jan Clayton). Then there was Maureen Robinson in Lost in Space, mother to Judy (Marta Kristen), Penny (Angela Cartwright) and Will (Bill Mumy) from 1965 to 1968. And, finally, Janet Craig, the surrogate Mom of sorts to Billie Jo (Meredith MacRae), Bobbie Jo (Lori Saunders) and Betty Jo (Linda Kaye Henning) following the passing of Bea Benaderet in rural-themed sitcom Petticoat Junction from 1968 to 1970.

She was Sergeant York’s little sister in that movie. She looked like about 10 and his mom was 90 in the shade. Kind of strange casting.

Lost in Space

I was a couple years younger than Billy Mumy, and thought that all three chicks on that show were babes.

Don’t go too far from the space ship, and be back by lunch.

How about that - she was born the same year my Dad was.

Dad would have been 100 this yr too, except he passed about a week before his 90th B-day. RIP Dad, and see you one of these days in person ...
