There was never any indication that Lassie got the TV crew sick on the 1950's show "Lassie."
Tommy Rettig, as Jeff, was the first owner of Lassie. Jan Clayton played his mother. When he got to old, the story line had Jon Provost cast as being adopted, both by the Martin's and Lassie making the choice to stay with Timmy on the farm. In the original transition, Timmy's mother was played by Cloris Leachman for one eposide. The series with Tommy Rettig was renamed "Jeff's Collie" much later, I guess to separate the two stars. There was also a Canadian "Lassie" series a few years ago with Corey Sevier as Lassie's owner.
No, I believe he is deceased. Jon Provost, the familiar (Timmy) of the Provost-Lockhart Lassie period, as a flag of convenience the (Provost-Lockhart Lassie) is still alive, as is Miss Lockhart.
