Fans of classic television and film are saddened to learn of the passing of June Lockhart at age 100. She was best known for her roles in productions like Meet Me in St. Louis and Lassie.
As a classic movie fan, I was really saddened to hear about the passing of June Lockhart. She was one of those last connections to Hollywood’s Golden Age, and her career lasted an incredible nine decades – she really spanned several generations of performers. I just learned she passed away peacefully on Thursday, with her daughter Elizabeth and granddaughter Christianna by her side. Her family confirmed it was due to natural causes. Elizabeth actually released a statement through Deadline, and it said…
My mother saw acting as her profession, but she truly loved journalism, politics, science, and space exploration – especially NASA. She was proud of her role in Lost in Space, and it meant the world to her to learn she’d inspired future astronauts, who often told her so when visiting NASA. She valued that impact even more than all the other television and film roles she had throughout her career.

Born in New York City in 1925, June Lockhart began her entertainment career at just eight years old, appearing in a 1933 production of Peter Ibbetson at the Metropolitan Opera House. She later became a well-known and successful actress through her work in film and television.
From her start as Belinda Cratchit in the 1938 film A Christmas Carol to a voice cameo in the 2021 Netflix series Lost in Space, Lockhart enjoyed a prolific acting career spanning 179 roles. She worked across many different types of projects, but was most known for her work in television.
She started her career with small parts in films like Sergeant York, Keep Your Powder Dry, and Son of Lassie. However, she became a familiar face on television throughout the 1940s and 50s, appearing as a guest star on popular shows like Climax!, Lights Out, Studio 57, and The Ford Theatre Hour. Later, she had roles in well-known series such as Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Petticoat Junction, and Bewitched.
June Lockhart is best known for her role as Maureen Robinson in the classic television series Lost in Space, appearing in 84 episodes. Her connection to the show continued long after it ended – she made appearances in both the 1998 film adaptation and the 2021 Netflix revival.
Throughout the 1980s and beyond, the actress remained a familiar face on television. She guest-starred on numerous popular shows over the years, including Babylon 5, Beverly Hills 90210, and Grey’s Anatomy. Notably, she appeared in 46 episodes of General Hospital between 1984 and 1998, and also had a role on Cold Case. While her appearances became less frequent in recent years, she continued to work until 2019, with her final projects including the film The Remake (2016), the animated movie Bongee Bear and the Kingdom of Rhythm (2019), and a voice role as Alpha Control in Lost in Space.
