Rest in peace, Norman Lloyd. The actor, producer and director died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. He was 106.
Lloyd was best known for his role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1942 film
Saboteur; his character tumbled to his death from the top of the Statue of Liberty in the film's conclusion. He also starred as Dr. Daniel Auschlander on NBC’s 1980s hospital drama
St. Elsewhere.
The performer was born in 1914 in Jersey City, New Jersey, and raised in Brooklyn. After childhood singing and dancing classes, he started his career at Le Galienne’s Civic Repertory Theater in 1932. He then joined the original company of the Orson Welles-John Houseman Mercury Theater.
