SCRAPBOOK 5 - BEING LOST IN SPACE...

  In 3 years Lost In Space became a favorite TV show to thousands of people who were swept away by the Robinson's adventures. Over the years it has never lost it's appeal  to those imaginations it captured.

Being cast as Penny Robinson was a character I loved portraying. Not only was I fascinated with the Space Program, but this was totally different from the kind of roles I'd played before. She was fearless. I loved her sense of adventure.

I grew into my teenage years on the show. The taller I became, the more inches they added to my pants until finally they gave up and put me in a mini skirt for the third season.
