June Lockhart – Born in 1925, Lassie

Here’s another star from the Golden Age of Hollywood who deserves every ounce of recognition she gets. June Lockhart rose to fame during the ’50s and ’60s for her work in television. So when talk of her filmography comes up, titles like “Lassie” and “Lost in Space” often have a place of honor.

Lockhart made her debut at the age of eight when she starred in a production of “Peter Ibbetson” at the Metropolitan Opera. But once her career took hold, she also voiced the character of ‘Martha Day,’ the main character in the ABC animated series “These Are the Days.” which aired during the ’70s.
