Most know you best as Maureen Robinson on Irwin Allen's Lost in Space, while others recall you most as Ruth Martin in the 1958 - 1964 run of Lassie or perhaps it's your lasting stay as Janet Craig on Petticoat Junction. Horror fans, however, hold you closest to their hearts for your passionate portrayal of Phyllis Allenby in Universal's She-Wolf of London.
There's a generous amount more beyond such, with your guest-starring roles on The New Lassie, Lost in Space 2021, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Amazing Stories, Science Fiction Theatre, Darkroom, The Greatest American Hero, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Whiz Kids, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Bewitched, Happy Days, The Drew Carey Show, Mr. Novak, Marcus Welby MD, Quincy ME, Magnum P.I., Adam-12, New Zoo Revue, Vega$, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills 90210, Falcon Crest, Knotts Landing, The Colbys, Hotel, Grey's Anatomy, Murder She Wrote, Ellery Queen, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, Perry Mason, The Man and the City, Family Affair, Full House, Matinee Theatre, The Joseph Cotton Show, Shirley Temple's Storybook, Have Gun - Will Travel, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wagon Train, Branded, The Magic Locket, Playhouse 90, General Electric Theater, General Hospital and (yes!) much more.
Oh, then there are your feature ventures: Lost in Space 1998, Strange Invaders, Troll (with your daughter, Anne), Zombie Hamlet, C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D., Deadly Games, The Colony, Super Capers, Son of Lassie, A Christmas Carol 1938, Tis the Season, The Night They Saved Christmas, One Night at McCool's, T-Men, Bury Me Dead, Sergeant York, Dead Women in Lingerie, Deterrence, Time Limit, Miss Annie Rooney, It's a Joke, Son!, The Big Picture, Keep Your Powder Dry, Remake, Wesley, Adam Had Four Sons, The White Cliffs of Dover, All This and Heaven Too, Forever and a Day, Butterfly, Rented Lips and (yes, again!) still far more.
You were phenomenal, Ms. Lockhart, an ubiquitous and beautiful beacon, who always brought a smile to a viewer's face. You touched so many lives on so many levels, with so many terrific performances, and through them, you'll live on, not only on the screen, but assuredly in our hearts.
