At 98, the legendary actress who played Timmy’s mother on Lassie is still making headlines.

June Lockhart, cherished for her iconic roles as the quintessential TV mom, boasts a career spanning nine decades, reaching far beyond her beloved character, Ruth Martin, on “Lassie.” From 1958 to 1964, she portrayed Timmy’s nurturing mother alongside Jon Provost as Timmy, forging a deep bond with the eponymous collie.

From 1965 to 1968, Lockhart captivated audiences as Dr. Maureen Robinson, the resolute matriarch in “Lost in Space.” Her expansive career has seen roles in a plethora of TV series including “Bewitched,” “Petticoat Junction,” “Magnum, P.I.,” “Step by Step,” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Lockhart also appeared in nearly 40 episodes of “General Hospital,” and her more recent endeavors include a 2006 episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” the TV movie “Holiday in Handcuffs” (2006), and the 2016 film “The Remake.”

Lockhart’s stage presence earned her a Tony Award in 1948 for Outstanding Performance by a Newcomer for her role in “For Love or Money.”

Her passion extends beyond the screen and stage to the cosmos; a fervent supporter of NASA since the 1970s, Lockhart was honored with the Exceptional Public Achievement Medal in 2013 for her promotional work with the agency.

Her personal life includes two marriages, first to John F. Maloney with whom she has two children, June Elizabeth and Anne Lockhart—an actress herself—and later to John Lindsay.

Her rich family life is highlighted by traditions such as watching “A Christmas Carol” together, the 1938 film where she made her debut alongside her actor parents, Gene and Kathleen Lockhart.

In reflecting on her life and career, Lockhart shared in a 2015 interview with The Daily Item, “I’ve had many opportunities that just dropped into my lap over the years, and I’m glad I was equal to them.

I used to think 90, gosh, that’s old. But I feel 55. I’m very fortunate to still be active and working.” This statement captures her enduring spirit and zest for life, continuing to inspire and entertain across generations.
