JUNE LOCKHART

June Lockhart - In loving memory (1925-2025)

So soon after the 60th anniversary celebrations for Lost in Space comes the devastating news that the actress June Lockhart has passed away, on Thursday 23rd October 2025. June played matriarch of the Robinson Family, Maureen, in Irwin Allen’s Lost in Space. She had a long and illustrious career, starting with a small role with her acting parents (Gene and Kathleen Lockhart) in the 1938 A Christmas Carol, and appearing in classic movies such as Meet Me in St. Louis (with Judy Garland). For a generation of viewers though, she will forever be Maureen Robinson.

MARK GODDARD

It has been with great sadness that we learned on Friday evening of the passing of Lost in Space star Mark Goddard on 10th October via Bill Mumy on Facebook. Mark and his work have been a feature in our lives for as long as we can remember. Our thoughts tonight are with Mark Goddard’s family and friends including all of the Lost in Space cast who formed lifelong friendships with Mark after working on the show.

Kidnapped in Space Jumpsuit

The second costume we have received questions about is the orange jumpsuit. We have not found any scenes featuring Penny (Angela Cartwright) wearing the costume, but did find the outfit in the third season Lost in Space episode Kidnapped in Space. The outfit was worn by two characters “1220” (played by Carol Williams) and “1246”. If you find any episodes featuring Penny in the costume, please let us know.
