A long time ago
So June Lockhart has finally copped it. I must say, I didn’t know she was still alive.
I was too young to remember Lassie except in occasional reruns, but I was a fanatical follower of Lost in Space. It ran from 1965 to 1968, so from my age five to eight. Yup, that’s the demographic.
They held a 30th cast reunion in Boston in 1995 and I went. A collectors expo. I didn’t stand in the autograph line or have my picture taken with the robot, but it was gratifying to see them nonetheless.
They were all there except Guy Williams, who died in 1989 (rumor had it of AIDS, but the Wikipedia doesn’t address that).
I remember June Lockhart wore white gloves and didn’t shake hands. I don’t know if I assumed or was told it was because of arthritis and it was too painful.
My gosh – that means this year would be the 60th!
