It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

I find the statement that Lockhart was the only actor or actress to have starred in three hit series during the 60s to be implausible. Are we talking first-billed (she wasn't first-billed in LIS), second-billed, or what? Define "hit" series. However, off the top of my head, I can't come up with another actor to be in three shows ("hit" or near-hit, or not), though I'm sure there is. Sir Rhosis 04:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removing unsupported material

The following material seems unsupported (as well as strangely worded in this day and age):

"Lockhart is something of a free spirit, was known for driving around in a fire engine, and has been known to cohabit with boyfriends. One employer did not renew her contract when he found out about this." I have thus deleted it. The material needs to have a specific source and concrete facts if it is to be re-included in the article. Su 15:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cult?

I find the use of the word "cult" to be POV, likely from someone whose knowledge of Lassie and LIS is from reports and not first hand experience. Lassie was anything but cult - it was a mainstream ratings winner that survived the departure of its "human" star, lasted about 20 years, and won an Emmy and a Peabody. This was a significant show in the early history of television, not a "cult classic." LIS was closer to that - but even so, had moderately good ratings at the time, was notable for its cost in production, and is often credited (correctly or not) with helping to launch the more enduring Star Trek franchise. I'm removing the word "cult" consequently - that's a writer's POV unsupported (and probably unsupportable) by facts.Sensei48 16:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yes photo is fair-use legal

14-Nov-2007: You might be wondering how such a real photo could possibly still be on Wikipedia: that top photo is described, within the article, as a "publicity photo" not an image identifying a person. The legal caption has been restored (after infobox was added):

Publicity photo of June Lockhart and Guy Williams
from 1965, for the sci-fi TV series  Lost in Space 
(note the silver spacesuits & red trim).

By treating and mentioned the image as a "publicity photo" (not just a picture of June Lockhart), the image meets the criteria for legal fair-use licensing. Few people understand fair-use licensing, so be sure the wording about a "publicity photo" is preserved. This concept could be quite difficult for some people to comprehend: the image is here as an example of a "publicity photo" not an image of June Lockhart.
