A personal favorite of mine, she was in the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol, 1944's classic Judy Garland musical Meet Me in St. Louis, played Timmy's mom on Lassie ...
And here's a little known fact — the Allman Brothers, when they were known as the Hour Glass, were the house band at June Lockhart's wild parties in the 1960s!
But for me, I'll always love her best as Dr. Maureen Robinson on television's Lost in Space. Week-in and week-out, she lived a marginal existence on the raggedy end of the final frontier, cooking dinner, folding space laundry, and fretting on cue as her precocious son Will, the troublesome stowaway Dr. Smith, and a wisecracking Robot stole the show out from under her. All without a discouraging word.
Happy birthday, Ms. Lockhart!

Did that red hair have anything to do with your admiration? I was going over a list in my head recently counting the celebs in their 90's +. It's nice to see them still around and active.
You know me so well!
And obviously, "anonymous" is me, Mythical Monkey. I'm at the dentist about to be fitted for a crown -- and not the regal kind!
