A TV Mom of Moms

 

Actress June Lockhart has passed at 100. Her long career covered eight decades in stage, film and television and included Emmy nominations and a Tony Award as a newcomer.  Her first film role was daughter to her father Gene Lockhart in 1938 for A Christmas Carol. She had countless film and television guest roles, but she will always be remembered as the TV moms in Lassie and Lost in Space, two shows that are near and dear to my heart.  Though I met several stars of Lost in Space, I never got to meet her, but she lives on forever on video.
