“She was ready to go home.” With those quiet words, June Lockhart’s family confirmed the passing of one of television’s most enduring stars — a woman whose face defined comfort, courage, and grace for generations. June Lockhart, who first stepped onto the stage at just 8 years old and went on to capture hearts in “Lassie,” “Lost in Space,” and countless other classics, has died peacefully at 100, surrounded by her daughter and granddaughter.
Her century-long story reads like the history of Hollywood itself — from black-and-white screens to streaming platforms, June was there through it all. She wasn’t just an actress; she was the nation’s on-screen mother, the calm voice amid chaos, the symbol of home and hope during America’s golden age of television. Fans remember her tender smile, her impeccable poise, and that rare ability to make even the most far-off worlds feel like family.
As tributes pour in from co-stars, filmmakers, and fans across the world, one question echoes through Hollywood: How do you say goodbye to a woman who seemed eternal? 🌹
Her final performance, it seems, was in the grace with which she lived — and the generations she inspired to dream.
