When a seemingly straightforward trip among the stars goes awry, the Robinson family finds itself Lost in Space. Every family member must contend with their own wishes and the powerful will of outer space. Fortunately, the family had Dr. Maureen Robinson at the helm with her husband. As Maureen, June Lockhart played yet another iconic TV mom and hero. But what happened after the show? Fittingly, June Lockhart came from a celebrated entertainment background. Her parents were Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, stars among Broadway and English stages respectively. June Lockhart herself entered the field fairly early alongside her parents in 1938's A Christmas Carol; born on June 25, 1925, she was only around 13. Lockhart did not stay a sidenote compared to her parents for long. In 1947's For Love or Money, she received recognition as a talented actress in her own right. Though this proved her ability to perform well in movies, TV roles followed with the most prominence in the following years.
