Kathleen Lockhart (9 August 1894 — 18 February 1978) was a British-born American actress.
She was born Kathleen Arthur in Southsea, Hampshire. She got her start on the stage in Britain and then emigrated to the United States in 1924, upon her marriage to Canadian-born actor Gene Lockhart. She continued to appear on stage and in Hollywood films for almost forty years. Kathleen and her husband, Gene, occasionally starred opposite each other, most notably as Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol (1938). Their daughter, June Lockhart also appeared with them in that film, portraying their daughter. After her husband died in 1957, she retired from acting and made no more film appearances, except for a small role in The Purple Gang (1960).
She was the mother of actress June Lockhart and grandmother of actress Anne Lockhart. She died on 18 February 1978 in Los Angeles, California following an undisclosed illness. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6241 Hollywood Boulevard. Her grave is located next to her husband, Gene in Culver City's Holy Cross Cemetery. Biography
Après des débuts au théâtre dans son pays natal, Kathleen Arthur épouse en 1924 l'acteur d'origine canadienne Gene Lockhart (dont elle prendra le nom à la scène) et émigre alors aux États-Unis. Elle débute à Broadway (New York) en 1930, y interprétant au total quatre pièces, la dernière en 1945, toutes aux côtés de son mari.
Au cinéma, à partir de 1933, Kathleen Lockhart apparaît dans trente-huit films américains, dont plusieurs avec son époux. Devenue veuve en 1957, elle se retire définitivement après une ultime prestation à l'écran en 1959. Son avant-dernier film (sorti en 1954) est Romance inachevée, consacré à Glenn Miller, où elle interprète la mère du jazzman — joué par James Stewart —.
De son union avec Gene Lockhart, est née l'actrice June Lockhart (elle-même mère d'Anne Lockhart, également actrice).
Pour sa contribution au cinéma, une étoile lui est dédiée sur le Walk of Fame d'Hollywood Boulevard.
