'She was very happy up until the very end': June Lockhart has died aged 100

June Lockhart has died aged 100.

The Lassie and Lost in Space actress passed away from natural causes on Thursday (23.10.25) with her daughter, June Elizabeth, and granddaughter, Christianna, by her side.

June Elizabeth said: "Mommy always considered acting her craft, but her true passions were journalism, politics, science, and NASA.

"She cherished her role in Lost in Space and was delighted to know she inspired many future astronauts."

Lyle Gregory - a family friend - is quoted by The Guardian as saying: "She was very happy up until the very end, reading the New York Times and LA Times every day.

"It was very important to her to stay focused on the news of the day.”

According to People, funeral services for June - who died in Santa Monica, California - will be private, and instead of flowers, the Hollywood legend's family has asked donations to be made to The Actors Fund, ProPublica and International Hearing Dog, Inc.

The star was born in New York City on June 25, 1925, and was the daughter of actor Gene and actress Kathleen Lockhart.

June's career spanned film and television, and her first movie appearance came in 1938 with MGM's A Christmas Carol, cast as the daughter of Bob Cratchit, played by her dad Gene, with Kathleen as his wife.
