June Lockhart IS 100!
[quote]“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.”
She sends her love!

In the 90s I attended a journalism convention in Los Angeles with my university class. June Lockhart was there for some reason and my professor sniffed that she would show up to the opening of an envelope. I'd never heard that expression before that and thought it was hilarious. After that I noticed how frequently she was a guest star on all types of TV shows. But hey a girl's gotta eat

We all know that her father was famed character actor Gene Lockhart (Miracle on 34th Street), don’t we?

I didn't even realize she was still alive!

She was one gal I couldn't lick.
In a fight, I mean.

R6 I can never forget that line as it was wonderfully dispatched in “Death Becomes Her”. Your professor must have been a campy queen.

That's hilarious, r13. The convention would have been a year or so after Death Becomes Her came out so maybe that's where my professor heard it. My professor was a woman and such a comment was out of character for her so it kind of makes sense if she was quoting the movie though she didn't say it playfully and genuinely seemed to making a dig at Lockhart. At the time I only knew Lockart as the mom from Lost In Space and Lassie reruns so I was struck that someone would find her offensive in some way.

So that makes at least TWO actors from "Meet Me in St Louis" who are still alive.
It's too bad Harry Davenport couldnt have hung on for a little while longer.

Besides genetics, attending envelope openings may be a reason for her longevity. It's kept her engaged in the world.

I tried watching all of Lost in Space - I made it through season one, but gave up in season two. It was just too boring.

More successful than Star Trek TOS but laughably pedestrian in comparison.

I knew her 100th was coming up. Nice to know she made it. By all accounts she was always a very nice person.

Season 1 of Lost in Space was great, all in black and white, but they approached it is a more serious Sci-Fi series which Ewrin Allen decided to dumb down for children more in season 2 and 3 with ludicrous aliens that were either space hippies or broccoli people. Dr. Smith went from a serious subversive stowaway to a bumbling 40 year old queen with back problems and liking for young Will Robinson.

She was one of the Cratchit girls in A Christmas Carol (1938) with her real life parents Gary Lockhart and Kathleen Lockhart.
The classic also stars Reginald Owen, Leo G. Carroll, and DL fav Ann Rutherford.

What became of her daughter Anne? (Was there an e?)
I remember them from an old USPS commercial about using the right zip code. Probably aired in the months before Xmas. Young Danielle Brisebois was also featured.

Her mom also appeared opposite husband Gene, as Mrs. Crachit in 1938’s “Christmas Carol.”
In Bill’s and his co-stars’ different books or recollections about “Lost In Space,” they describe how off-camera June was anything but mild-mannered TV mom. She was a wild lady! 😍 She loved rock music, hosting fabulous home Halloween costume parties, was a very bright individual always following DC politics and public affairs, and the one on “LIS” set who, right before shooting a scene, would shout out to the castmembers around her (including not just any of the female ones): “Ok, everybody, tits and lips!”, apparently reminding all to stand straight with shoulders back and lips licked shiny. She sounds like she’s always been quite a hoot of sn amazingly cool lady! ❤️🎂

Late 1960s or early 1970s tabloids went nuts over her affair with a much younger man from Jesus Christ Superstar.

She was an inferior replacement for Kate Bradley!
