I know her personally. I saw her in 2 different plays in ohio. "Forty Carats" in 1972 and "No sex please, were British" in 1975. Met her backstage at both. Also at a celebrity convention in Cleveland where all the Lost in Space stars were appearing. She is the sweetest person you could ever know. My favorite celebrity of all time. I just love that lady.
Happy birthday June.
Kate. You beat me posting.

Wow ! I used to watch her on TV when I was a kid... seems she's even older than my father who was born in '26.. which just made me realise that if he'd lived he would be 100 next year...
good for her I hope she's living a long life without pain

According to Bill Mumy, she's doing great. We even have something in common... June hates talking on the phone like I do.

Here ya go, @hollydolly . Copyright credit goes to Barb Oates and Remind Magazine.
"Earlier this month, Bill Mumy took a moment at the Hollywood Show to update us on his former onscreen mom June Lockhart, in advance of her centennial birthday. Lockhart, who turns 100 on June 25, 2025, enjoyed a career spanning nearly 90 years, and is one of the last surviving actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Most know that Lockhart and Mumy starred in TV’s sci-fi classic Lost in Space (1965-68), which followed the Robinson family as they set out to find an alternate planet to inhabit as Earth’s overpopulation was nearing a crisis. Lockhart played the family’s matriarch and biochemist Maureen Robinson opposite Guy Williams‘ patriarch, Dr. John Robinson. At the time, she had traded in that gingham gown she donned for six seasons of Lassie for the cooler, form-fitting sparkly jumpsuit for Lost in Space.
Mumy starred as the infamously nerdy Will Robinson (“Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!’), the youngest of the Robinson clan, which also included Judy Robinson (Marta Kristen) and Penny Robinson (Angela Cartwright).
We asked Mumy if he still was in contact with Lockhart, and he gave us an update on her health.
“I talk to her through her daughter. June is at home. She has two assistants. She’s still in her own home. She follows the politics, she reads the news, but she doesn’t talk on the phone and she doesn’t — obviously — she’s not going to put on all her makeup and go out and do a convention or anything anymore, but she’s, well, she’s fine. She’s healthy.”
Mumy also gave us some behind the scenes on what cast members would do to celebrate birthdays on set back in the 1960s.
“Well, Angela and our birthdays were always celebrated on set with cakes and stuff because we were kids,” Mumy shares. “The rest of us, we knew people’s birthdays and throughout all of the decades sent birthday cards and calls and things like that. It’s always been and continues to be a real kind of unconventional family. Everybody got along really well.”
Mumy wishes Lockhart nothing but the best for her 100th."

Her parents were both actors, Gene being the more prominent. They all appeared together in the 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol". Gene plated Bob Cratchitt, Kathleen was Mrs. Cratchitt and June was Belinda Cratchitt.

Bless her heart. She looks good too. I hope she is able to have an enjoyable birthday. It's nice that Billy Mumy still keeps up with her after all these decades.

She sure does! I didn't know how old that first pic was that I posted, but my goodness, this one was taken just 52 weeks ago for her 99th birthday, and she really *does* look that good!

Oh yeah! Did she remember you the second time? I know she must've the third time.
Oh yes. I wrote her a note and asked one of the staff to give it to her. Which she did. She said "June will see you after the show". That lady is precious to me.
What a sweet person. Stayed in touch many years after that.
