The retired film star began her career as a child when she would perform on New York’s Metropolitan Opera stage.

As a self-proclaimed news junkie, June’s life was far from boring as she always had content to enjoy from The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times on a regular basis. She also recalled playing Scrabble with her hairdresser and the crew while filming Lost In Space, which is no surprise in relation to her love for reading.
