Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Former stage, screen and television actress June Lockhart died at age 100 at her Santa Monica, Calif., home, her family announced through spokesman Harlan Boll.
Lockhart died Thursday with daughter June Elizabeth and granddaughter Christianna at her side, her family said in a statement shared with NBC News.
"Mommy always considered acting as her craft, her vocation, but her true passions were journalism, politics, science and NASA," Elizabeth said.
"She cherished playing her role in 'Lost in Space' and she was delighted to know that she inspired many future astronauts, as they would remind her on visits to NASA," she added.
"That meant even more to her than the hundreds of television and movie roles she played."
