June Lockhart was born to Gene Lockhart and Kathleen Arthur Lockhart, both of whom were actors, so she made her debut appearance on the stage when she was only eight years old, in a Metropolitan Opera production of “Peter Ibbetson”. One part of her childhood she spent in her hometown, as her family later moved to California, where she went to the Westlake School for Girls.
She continued to appear on stage throughout her career, in such plays as “For Love or Money”, and “Kin Hubbard”, among others. However, she also launched a career on-screen, and until the present day has appeared in 170 film and TV titles; her debut happened in 1938, when she appeared with her parents in the film “A Christmas Carol”, and two years later she featured in “All This, and Heaven Too” (1940). During the 1940s, June built a name for herself with roles in such films as “Sergeant York” (1941), “Meet Me in St. Louis” (1944), “She Wolf of London” (1946), and “Bury Me Dead” (1947) among others, which only helped her gain popularity, and increase her net worth.
