June Lockhart, Lassie and Lost in Space Actress Who Was One of the Last Surviving Stars from Hollywood's Golden Age, Dies at 100




With two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a total of five for the Lockhart family, June Lockhart was an inspiration to generations of astronauts. She became a treasured NASA spokesperson attending many NASA launches and landings throughout the decades, including side-by-side with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin at NASA's milestone 2009 anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C. for the 40th Anniversary of the Moon landing.
