Born in New York City in 1925 — two years before the advent of synced sound in film — Lockhart was a second-generation actor. Her father, Gene Lockhart, was a prolific stage actor who taught at Juilliard and was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting performance in 1938's Algiers, while her mother, Kathleen Lockhart, starred in films like Lady in the Lake and The Glenn Miller Story.
June Lockhart began her acting career as a young child, making her stage debut at age 8 in a 1933 production of Peter Ibbetson at New York's Metropolitan Opera House. Her first film appearance came in 1938's A Christmas Carol, which also starred her real-life parents as the Cratchits.
Lockhart costarred with Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien in 1944's legendary movie musical Meet Me in St. Louis, which received five Oscar nominations. She played Gary Cooper's sister in Howard Hawks' Sergeant York and acted opposite Bette Davis in All This, and Heaven Too. She won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Newcomer for her part in Broadway's For Love or Money in 1947.
Lockhart's best-known projects were a pair of iconic midcentury TV shows: Lassie, in which she played the maternal role of Ruth Martin after Cloris Leachman left the part, and Lost in Space, in which she portrayed the matriarch Dr. Maureen Robinson.
