After nine decades in the business, the former collaborator of Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles is still looking for his next great role.
The earliest surviving footage of broadcast television in America is a fragment of "The Streets of New York," an adaptation of playwright Dion Boucicault's 19th-century drama, aired by the experimental New York NBC affiliate W2XBS on August 31, 1939. All that now remains of the hour-long program is a silent, 11-minute kinescope, filmed off a TV screen and archived at the Paley Center For Media. And there, in those primitive flickering images, you can catch a glimpse of one of the show's actors: the 24-year-old Norman Lloyd.

Oh, I remember him from St. Elsewhere! I can’t believe he’s still alive.
Wow I’m shocked he is still alive. 100 Years old, God Bless him. I too remember him from that show St. Elsewhere. Isn’t that the show where Clooney got his start?

“I too remember him from that show St. Elsewhere. Isn’t that the show where Clooney got his start?”
I don’t know if he was on that show, but he was in “E/R” and the “Facts of Life”!

Thanks for posting this. Creative people often live very long, productive lives…I think because they’re enjoying themselves so much.
I remember when Ed Flanders ended his life. :(
What a nice thought...

Oh those tennis players. My second cousin played every day until his mid-eighties when he had a quadruple bypass. Took him weeks, WEEKS, I tell you, to get back on the court.
You must be right. My MIL turned 100 last May lives with us and is a spinner and weaver, having made some of the most beautiful fabrics around and learned the computer at age 85 and wrote her first book at 87. The stories she tells me every morning over breakfast are amazing, having been born in Berlin and escaping ahead of WW1 in 1914. Sometimes when she speaks of “The War” I’m not sure if it was I or II. Her memories are intact and she’s a good storyteller.
Your MIL sounds delightful. Is her book published? Online? Stories of Berlin?
My SanFran friend who grew up in wartime Berlin just died at 88. She was so much fun to be with…had a stroke on vacation in Berlin —at a beauty shop, a glass of chablis in one hand, a cigarette in the other…indominatably herself and exactly the way she wanted to go.
Off the top of my head, Picasso lived to be 92, Miro was 90, Matisse was a month short of 85. All painted until the end. And enjoyed life immensely.
Your MIL is really a treasure.
Her book was about weaving animals. I still mail out a few for her every month.
Her father was a German Mennonite farmer from the Black Sea area of Russia, and mom was an English lady. The things that family went through before making it to America was amazing. Makes me realize how well we have it now, and what it can turn into if we don’t take care of it.
Happy birthday to Mr. Lloyd.
