Exercise
June’s lifelong career entailed physical performance – stage acting demands good posture, stamina, and subtle movement.
What we know of other centenarians: movement, no matter how gentle, sustains strength and flexibility.
Lockhart maintains that public appearances – at televised events, award ceremonies, and fan meet-and-greets well into her 90s – have helped keep her body engaged. She still walks, meets friends, attends functions, and even did a voice-over for Netflix‘s Lost in Space – at 95!
Keep A Positive Attitude
Purposeful living: Lockhart has remained professionally and personally engaged even after retiring. She filmed public-service messages, interviews, and guest appearances into her 90s.
She has embraced cultural shifts like rock music, science fiction, and even rock concerts with costars.
Keeping strong social connections is important, too.
“I’m proud of the friends I have made throughout my lifetime,” said Lockhart.
Strong social connections: Maintaining friendships in Hollywood, media, and her religious community has helped her remain upbeat and open to different experiences.
Spiritual grounding: A lifelong Catholic who even met Pope John Paul II in 1985, Lockhart credits faith with sustaining her through life’s highs and lows.
