Her interest in space exploration is personal as well as professional. A longtime NASA supporter, she was honored with the Exceptional Public Achievement Medal in 2013 for her work with the agency.

Lockhart has been involved with NASA since the 1970s, attending space shuttle launches, addressing employees, and promoting the agency.

Personal Life and Family Traditions

 

 

Lockhart has been married twice. She was married to John F. Maloney from 1951 to 1959, and they had two children, June Elizabeth and Anne Lockhart, who is also an actor. She married John Lindsay in 1959, and they divorced in 1970.

In a 2014 interview with the Fayette Tribune, Lockhart fondly remembered her first movie, 1938’s “A Christmas Carol,” in which she starred with her actor parents, Gene and Kathleen Lockhart.

Watching the movie has become a family tradition, and Lockhart enjoys watching it with her daughter, Junie, and granddaughter, Christianna. The family laughs at her first movie line, “I know, I know–sausages!” which has become a cherished family joke.

Lockhart’s Perspective on Life

In a 2015 interview with The Daily Item, Lockhart opened up about her perspective on life. “I’ve had many opportunities that just dropped into my lap over the years, and I’m glad I was equal to them,” she said. “I used to think 90, gosh, that’s old. But I feel 55. I’m very fortunate to still be active and working.”
