Farewell to June Lockhart, who passed on October 23rd, having reached her 100th birthday last June. She was another treasured link to the Golden Age of Hollywood, before she became better known to younger generations through two television series and guest spots.
We will remember her as Belinda Cratchit, her real-life parents Gene and Kathleen Lockhart playing Bob Crachit and his wife in A Christmas Carol (1938), and as Lucille Ballard in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944). She had a brief role in Keep Your Powder Dry (1945) here.
She also won a Tony Award in 1948 for Outstanding Performance By a Newcomer in For Love or Money.
It is a triumph to reach the century mark, but especially gratifying when one has lived a life so full of personal and professional accomplishments.
