June Lockhart | 06/25/1925 | 96

June Lockhart used to dominate the small screens in the ’50s and ’60s. She famously portrayed mother roles on the TV series Lassie and Lost in Space. The actress is also known as Dr. Janet Craig on Petticoat Junction.

If her surname rings a bell, she is the daughter of the Broadway star Gene Lockhart and the actress, Kathleen Lockhart. By the looks of it, acting is running in June’s blood. If that is not enough evidence yet, add to that her grandfather, John Coates Lockhart, was dubbed the “concert-singer.” Aside from acting, June also gets credits for being the hostess of the Miss USA Pageant for six years, the Miss Universe Pageant for six years, the Thanksgiving Parade for five years, and the Tournament of Roses Parade for eight years—all on CBS. Today, June is already 96 years old, but she is yet to announce her retirement officially. Her most recent project was lending her voice for Bongee Bear and the Kingdom of Rhythm in 2019.
