- For 50 years, she has represented all that is good about the enduring bonds between human beings and their dogs.
She first leaped to stardom in the 1943 MGM film, Lassie Come Home. At a time when families, still stunned from the Depression, were then torn apart by World War II, the story of a dog who fights every obstacle to return hundreds of miles to her young master moved audiences to tears and established Lassie as an American icon.
Lassie made seven MGM films. And when family films began to leave the big screen there were new horizons… first on radio and then on television.
The Story of Lassie Includes clips from Lassie MGM feature films as well as from Lassie’s TV shows, and interviews with trainer Robert Weatherwax; actor Roddy McDowall, Tommy Rettig, Jon Provost, Margaret O’Brien, Janet Leigh and others. Hosted by June Lockhart.

Thank you I have meet Lassie and one of the actor. My veteran mother brought her Collie on the train. I use to have beautiful Collies. The Weatherwax, J P Morgan, Albert Paulsen Terhune. Including all of those who love animals, thank you, for bringing them into our lives for a thousand Reasons that are too numerous to mention. Especially for having all the wonderful memories.
I watched everything Lassie as a boy. Now I'm 72. This brings back memories
I grew up with lassie. love her.
I grew up with the ranger years from the TV series. On weekends it was Bonanza, Lassie and Skippy.
One of the most beautiful Collies there was.
We currently have our 4th and 5th collie. We regularly take our dogs for a walk in a close by resort town and constantly get positive comments about our collie’s. They are like rock stars. There’s nothing like having a collie as a pet. Tucker and Hudson.
I missed lassie. She,s my childhood dog in television. Growing up with her is wonderful. Now i am in my senior years and i still miss her. I have a dog name Champ she’s a chowchow and i love her so much.
Lassie always did the right thing no matter what the odds were and we can all learn from that, a guiding light if you will!
i grew up watching Lassie my fav dog to watch.and still im still watching it.
Most of the Lassie films and TV series were before my time I really enjoy seeing them in reruns and always will
A little over 20 years ago, my mother had the opportunity to meet Rudd Weatherwax and the (then) current Lasaie. She travelled a lot in her lifetime, all over the world; yet, she often remarked that meeting RA and "Lassie" was one of the biggest thrills of her life. It may seem a bit baffling ,but Lassie has a huge appeal for many, especially those that loved movie Lassie Come Home with Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor. My heart still melts remembering my childhood on Sunday evenings at 7 pm, when sweet Lassie lifted her paw on cue! 💝💛💜
RIP Lassie who will be missed always!!! :(
I was born April 6, 1954. I started watching Lassie age 4. And here I am still watching this beloved TV show. I wish they would bring this show back. It would be a show that would teach all of our very young children about kindness and gentleness.
