Died: May 11, 2021. NORMAN Lloyd, who has died in his sleep aged 106, had an eighty-year career on stage, screen and radio that saw him at the forefront of some of theatre and film’s most maverick moments. Blessed with a commanding presence that belied his slight stature, he worked with Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock, and came into contact with other groundbreaking artists, including Bertolt Brecht, and composers Arnold Schoenberg and Hanns Eisler. In the 1930s, Lloyd worked on the cutting-edge of what was then described as social theatre. With the Theatre of Action collective, he was directed by Elia Kazan. It was there that he met his wife, actress Peggy Craven. They were together for 75 years.
