Actress June Lockhart of Lassie dies at 100

Actress June Lockhart, best known for her roles in Lassie, Lost in Space and Meet Me in St. Louis, has died at 100 years of age.

Lockhart, a Tony-winning actress, passed away Thursday night of natural causes at her home in Santa Monica. 

Her daughter June Elizabeth and granddaughter Christianna were reportedly there by her side.

“Mommy always considered acting as her craft, her vocation, but her true passions were journalism, politics, science and NASA,”Elizabeth said in a statement. “She cherished playing her role in Lost in Space and she was delighted to know that she inspired many future astronauts, as they would remind her on visits to NASA. That meant even more to her than the hundreds of television and movies roles she played.”
