A glimpse into June Lockhart’s Hollywood career that spanned 80 years

Born June Kathleen Lockhart on June 25, 1925, in New York City, the actress was quite literally born into show business. Her father, Gene Lockhart, was a Canadian-born actor and playwright, while her mother, Kathleen Lockhart, was also an English actress. With their influence, June grew up surrounded by cameras, movie sets, and scripts, making her quite accustomed to the industry before setting foot herself.

June was just 13 when she made her acting debut in films, when she appeared in MGM’s 1938 classic, A Christmas Carol, alongside both her parents. From thereon, her acting mettle landed her more roles, and she continued appearing in movies such as All This, and Heaven Too (1940), Sergeant York (1941), and Meet Me in St. Louis (1944). However, it was television that ultimately landed her the big break she had been waiting for.

20 years into her acting career, June Lockhart became a household name in 1958 when she joined the CBS show, Lassie, as ‘Ruth Martin’, the caring and loving foster mother of ‘Timmy’ (Jon Provost). She remained a key character in the show until 1964, her moving performance even landing her an Emmy nomination. Just a year later, she got another career-defining role when she joined the cast of Lost in Space. Her role as ‘Dr. Maureen Robinson’ from the sci-fi classic made her one of the most popular faces in pop culture during the late 1960s.

June Lockhart’s net worth at the time of her death

According to Celebrity Net Worth, June Lockhart has an estimated net worth of USD 5 million as of 2025. However, reports from other outlets, including Times Now World and The Richest, indicate that her wealth at the time of her death was somewhere between USD 8 million and 10 million. Most of her earnings can be attributed to her extensive body of work throughout her career.

In her career spanning 80+ years, June has extensively worked across numerous fields, including film, television, theatre, and even voice acting. At the prime of her career, she won hearts with her versatile performances in Son of Lassie (1945), Lassie’s Great Adventure (1965), Full House (1987-1995), Petticoat Junction (1963-1970), and Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996). In later years, Lockhart earned royalties from reruns, syndication rights, and voiceover projects — including Netflix’s 2021 Lost in Space reboot, where she lent her voice to ‘Alpha Control’.

Though her net worth may seem relatively modest by today’s Hollywood standards, it’s also important to note that most of Lockhart’s peak career years occurred during the Golden Age of Hollywood, when actors were paid far less than what modern stars get. Yet, her consistency and unmatched professionalism helped her amass a fortune reflecting her success and enduring legacy.
