His final film role came in Judd Apatow’s 2015 comedy Trainwreck.
Following Lloyd’s death, Apatow was among those to pay tribute.
He wrote on Instagram: “Norman Lloyd loved to tell stories and make people laugh. I was watching an interview with Ethan Hawke a few months ago and he was talking about being a kid shooting Dead Poets Society.
“He said one day Norman walked up to him and said ‘Pay attention. It isn’t usually like this. This is special’. He said that moment was a giant lesson for him. Every moment with Norman was special.
“He loved to tell this story about his wife Peggy. She was in bed and was very ill. She said to him, ‘Norman, how long have we been married?’ He replied, ‘Seventy years’. She said, ‘I think we’re going to make it’. I miss him already.”
