I'm old so forgive the old references.
June Lockhart was the mom on "Lassie" and "Lost in Space". She portrayed characters that were totally sexless, just devoted wife and mother. Somehow, I got it in my head that she was a nympho sex maniac who was into all kinds of kink. Not sure if any of that is true. But every time I see her in old reruns, I get all horned up thinking that she was such a sex machine.
The same also goes for Betty White. Now, I know that in her last ten years or so, she became a much more open and fun character and even acted like a sexually active woman. But for years (before the Mary Tyler Moore show) she was just a very quiet, well-behaved wife. And like with June Lockhart, I got the notion that Betty was a wild nympho. And I had a major crush on her for years. Once she became less conservative with her image, that kind of faded. I wanted her to be 'my secret crush'.
Here’s your June Lockhart trivia for the day. She appeared (uncredited I believe) with her parents in the ‘38 version of A Christmas Carol (the best IMO) as one of the Cratchet kids. The oldest daughter looks more like the mother, but not sure if it’s her sister or not?June Lockhart was beautiful.
Just a tidbit for the June fans!
