LOS ANGELES (AP) â Norman Lloyd, whose role as kindly Dr. Daniel Auschlander on TVâs âSt. Elsewhereâ was a single chapter in a distinguished stage and screen career that put him in the company of Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin and other greats, has died. He was 106.
Lloyd's son, Michael Lloyd, said his father died Tuesday at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
His credits stretch from the earliest known U.S. TV drama, 1939â²s âOn the Streets of New Yorkâ on the nascent NBC network, to 21st-century projects including âModern Familyâ and âThe Practice.â
âIf modern film history has a voice, it is Norman Lloydâs,â reviewer Kenneth Turan wrote in the Los Angeles Times in 2012 after Lloyd regaled a Cannes Film Festival crowd with anecdotes about rarified friends and colleagues including Charlie Chaplin and Jean Renoir.
