Norman Lloyd, who has died aged 106, made his screen debut falling from the Statue of Liberty in Alfred Hitchcock’s Saboteur; more than 70 years later his role in 2015’s Trainwreck made him the oldest working actor in Hollywood.
While casual cinema- and theatregoers might have struggled to put a face to the name, his CV boasted an impressive 70-odd roles, several of which brought him into the orbit of the industry’s most highly regarded figures. A friendship with Jean Renoir began when Lloyd appeared in The Southerner (1945), perhaps the director’s best-received American film.
