‘Lost In Space’ Actress June Lockhart Reflects on Life and Career at 99

June Lockhart celebrated her 99th birthday in June, bringing nearly a century of rich experience and wisdom. Known for her role as Maureen Robinson in Lost In Space, June generously shares the valuable life lessons she has gathered over the decades.

Maintaining a close bond with her co-stars from the iconic ’60s Sci-Fi series, June cherishes her friendships, especially with Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, and Marta Kristen, who played her children on the show. These enduring relationships are among her proudest achievements in the entertainment industry.

June attributes her current happiness to letting go of things she cannot change. Her key to a fulfilling life has been trusting herself and cultivating patience. She encourages others to persevere, reassuring that things do work out in the end.

Starting her career as a child on New York’s Metropolitan Opera stage, June debuted on the silver screen in 1938 alongside her parents in A Christmas Carol. Her remarkable nine-decade career positions her as one of the last remaining stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age.

June’s life is anything but dull. A self-proclaimed news junkie, she enjoys reading The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times regularly. Recalling fond memories, she shared how she used to play Scrabble with her hairdresser and crew during breaks on the Lost In Space set, tying back to her love for reading and wordplay.

As a mother of two, June isn’t much into social media. Her absence from Facebook has spurred impersonators to exploit her name, misleading her supporters. She advises her fans to report any fake profiles and stay away from fraudulent accounts claiming to be her.
