Yesterday Was June Lockhart's 100th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Happy Birthday, June Lockhart, and congratulations on reaching the century mark!

                      This was June at 19, in that most golden of Golden Age Hollywood films, 1944's "Meet Me In St. Louis" And who could forget her performance in 1946's "She Wolf Of London," which foreshadowed Gloria Talbot in 1957's "Daughter Of Dr. Jekyll?"

                       But for us baby boomers, who grew up with TV, June was our maternal figure, first on "Lassie," then in outer space on "Lost In Space," and finally as a Lady MD on "Petticoat Junction."  It seemed as though June was on TV all the time, and the medium was better for it.

                         Now in a well-deserved retirement, she has reached the century mark, and I could not be happier for her.  I wish her a continuing year, and hope the celebration lasts beyond one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          June, you are loved by many.  How apt your birthday month is your name.

                         Here's to as many years as you can rack up now, June!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
