Title: OT: June Lockhart Is 100
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on June 26, 2025, 03:19:18 AM

I'm posting a link to this only because we have a large contingent (including myself) of Lost In Space fans:

June Lockhart Is 100: ‘Lassie’ Star Jon Provost Shares Memories and Photos of TV Mom on Her Birthday (Exclusive)
“My own mother would forget my birthday, but June, never.” (https://www.tvinsider.com/1199107/june-lockhart-tribute-lassie-costar-jon-provost-interview/)

How sneaky of Jon Provost to beat Bill Mumy to the punch...

Plus, June was a festival guest as part of a tribute to Joan Bennett.

She earned my unwavering respect after I saw a clip of her scolding Virginia Graham for anti-gay comments way, way, way back in the day.

I grew up watching June first on Lassie, and then Lost In Space and finally Petticoat Junction.  Memories!  I'm grateful we still have her.

June also appeared in the Dan Curtis epic Curse of the Black Widow as the mother of twins Patty Duke and Donna Mills. Suffice to say that the twins were nothing like Patty and Cathy Lane.

 [pointing-up]  Laura and Leigh Lockridge (not Lockwood, as it says in the credits  [easter_rolleyes] - but then, who can forget Todd Blake, aka Todd Jennings) certainly were not!!   [easter_wink] [easter_grin] [easter_evil]

One thing related to that movie that I will never forget is the ad in TV Guide. It was enough to give almost anyone nightmares - especially anyone who didn't like spiders...

Could any of us forget her scenes with Golden Man Dennis Patrick on a classic episode of Lost In Space?

And don't forget the deflating beach ball mines!  Irwin Allen spared no expense.  I'm surprised The Towering Inferno wasn't made out of Legos.

I won't forget her tough go appearance at the Dark Shadows festival. First, there was feedback on her microphone right at the start - then snapping about the crying baby in the audience. Ouch.
