She oozes warmth.

I remember seeing her in “Lassie” as well as “Lost in Space.”

She was also the original proprietor of the Shady Rest on ‘Petticoat Junction.’

When she died, in 1968, June Lockhart was brought in to play Dr. Janet Craig for the last couple of years of the show.

Everyone loved her.

lockhart played the "mother" in boomer kids tv shows

It think June's parents were in the film, and June came aboard as a daughter in the Cratchit family.
