Norman Lloyd, a Hitchcock villain who later saved lives on ‘St. Elsewhere,’ dies at 106
LOS ANGELES Norman Lloyd, who memorably fell to his death from the Statue of Liberty as the villain in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Saboteur” in the 1940s but became best known four decades later as the kindly Dr. Daniel Auschlander on TV’s “St. Elsewhere,” has died at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Saboteur (1942)
Norman Lloyd, the actor, director, and producer who died on Tuesday at the age of 106, will always be associated with the great directors he worked with: Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, and Jean Renoir. With his passing, Lloyd joins “all the others who helped make Hollywood what it was,” writes Todd McCarthy for Deadline. “The parade has now definitively, conclusively, gone by.” With Lloyd, “a golden hoard of twentieth-century cultural memory is gone,” writes
New Yorker music critic Alex Ross. “I’ve had the honor to speak with many extraordinary people in my journalistic career; my two-hour-long conversation with Norman is, hands down, my favorite among all interviews I’ve done, and will probably remain so.”

Norman Lloyd, who memorably fell to his death from the Statue of Liberty as the villain in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Saboteur” in the 1940s but became best known four decades later as kindly Dr. Daniel Auschlander on TV’s “St. Elsewhere,” has died at his home in Brentwood.
Lloyd, who was also a director and producer, died Tuesday, said Dean Hargrove, a television producer and longtime friend. He was 106
and was generally considered to be the world’s oldest living film actor, working into his 90s.
On “St. Elsewhere,” the medical drama set in the seedy St. Eligius Hospital in Boston, Lloyd played Dr. Auschlander during the show’s six-season run, from 1982-88.
