June Lockhart lived life on the wild side.
The actress best known for her roles as a mom in “Lassie” and “Lost in Space” and who died Thursday at age 100 had a surprising passion for rock and roll
“I have been a music fan forever,” Lockhart told Fox News Digital in 2024. “The Beatles, Stones, Chicago, David Bowie, Huey Lewis and the News, Tina Turner.”

“We threw a Halloween party at my home in the late ‘60s, and I hired a band called Hour Glass,” she recalled. “They were fantastic. Truly talented guitars, keyboards and vocals . . . then they changed their name to The Alman Brothers Band!”
In 1994, Lockhart explained more about how she is nothing like her Hollywood persona.
“I can control my reputation, but not my image, because my image is how you see me,” she shared in an interview, per CNN.

“I love rock ‘n’ roll and going to the concerts,” the “Petticoat Junction” star continued. “I have driven Army tanks and flown in hot air balloons. And I go plane-gliding — the ones with no motors. I do a lot of things that don’t go with my image.”
Lockhart was also a massive David Bowie fan and even said a few months before her death that her biggest regret was never meeting the British rockstar.
Billy Mumy, who played Lockhart’s TV son in “Lost in Space,” also weighed in on her rebellious side over the years.

“She loved rock ‘n’ roll,” Mumy, 71, previously told Fox News Digital. “She brought The Allman Brothers to the studio when they were in a group called Hour Glass. She took me and Angela Cartwright to the Whiskey a Go Go. She got us tickets to see Simon & Garfunkel. June is truly a rock ‘n’ roll gal.”
In 2013, Mumy told the Television Academy Foundation about Lockhart’s fascination with Bowie, who died in 2016 at age 69.
“In the 80s, she carried a picture of one person in her wallet, and it was David Bowie,” the actor revealed.

After news of Lockhart’s death broke Saturday, Mumy posted an emotional Instagram tribute to his former co-star and friend.
“Goodbye to the brilliant June Lockhart,” he wrote. “A one of a kind, talented, nurturing, adventurous, and non compromising Lady. She did it her way.”
“June will always be one of my very favorite moms,” Mumy added. “100 years here. Wow! R.I.P.

💥 “NO CAMERAS. NO PRESS. JUST THREE NAMES THE WORLD THOUGHT THEY KNEW.” 🌪️ When the Category-5 monster Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, help was nowhere in sight. Then — without a single announcement — a private jet touched down at dawn. Inside: Rachel Maddow. Stephen Colbert. Joy Reid. No sponsors. No cameras. No entourage. They brought 5 tons of food, medicine, water filters, and $1.5 million in aid, all paid from their own pockets. Locals said they worked through the night — lifting boxes, feeding children, treating wounds — not a single word about fame or press. And when a volunteer asked why they came, Joy Reid quietly answered: “Because the news doesn’t need to cover this — humanity does.” By morning, they were gone. No selfies. No headlines. Just whispers spreading across the island — “Were those really them?” Nobody knows who leaked the flight manifest. But one thing’s certain: this wasn’t charity.
