New York, New York, USA
Born in New York City, the daughter of actors Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, only child June made her professional debut at age eight in a Metropolitan Opera production of "Peter Ibbetson", playing Mimsey in the dream sequence. In the mid-1930s, the Lockharts relocated to California, where father Gene enjoyed a long career as one of the screen's great character actors. June made her screen debut in MGM's 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol", playing--appropriately enough the daughter of stars Gene and Kathleen Lockhart. June appeared in a dozen or more movies before 1947, when she made her… More Broadway bow playing the ingenue in the comedy "For Love or Money" with John Loder. She got a standing ovation on opening night; one critic compared her debut to the first big hits of Helen Hayes and Margaret Sullavan. The overnight toast of Broadway, she went on to win a Tony, the Donaldson Award, the Theatre World Award and the Associated Press citation for Woman of the Year for Drama for her work in that play. On TV, she has co-starred in popular series like "Lassie" and "Lost in Space."

    she made her name playing in tv's "Lassie" opposite that dimpled dork john provost. hide show

    "would you like some more coffee?", "dinner is ready", "let's pick some vegetables from the hydoponic garden" are some of the dialogue of june lockhart as maureen robinson. she was the real goody two shoes of the robinson family. she hardly was mean to anyone except occasionally dr. smith. "oh! dr. smith, how could you" was her favorite expression. it wasn't her fault, irwin allen just redused her part after the arrival of smith and the robot. i wouldn't have her any other way. she was the worrysome mother of the robinson clan. i really liked her in this role
