Let's find out about June Lockhart's health at 100

When June's co-star from Lost in Space, Bill Mumy, was asked about her current health during his interview with ReMind Magazine, he confirmed that she was pretty healthy and in good spirits. Mumy further added:

"She follows the politics, she reads the news, but she doesn't talk on the phone and she doesn't — obviously — she's not going to put on all her makeup and go out and do a convention or anything anymore, but she's, well, she's fine. She's healthy. "

Jon Provost, who worked with Lockhart in Lassie, in a separate interview with the outlet, also confirmed that she is absolutely fine health-wise. Provost recalled a time when he was with June at an autograph show. He said:

"She put her leg up on the table, touched her head to her knee in a yoga-type stretch and sent the waiter for a glass of chardonnay after which she regaled us with tales of her storied career."

Provost continued:

"I once asked her how she stayed so young-looking. She said, 'I've had great work done and some young boyfriends'. Whatever her formula, it worked. June has always been her own person.… And now she is 100 years young. She is truly amazing in every way."
