In this endearing documentary, the feisty 93-year-old actor recounts some of the incredible stories of his life, including enduring the blacklist and his relationships with Orson Welles, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, and Bertolt Brecht, among many others. From Tinseltown's heyday to his recent work in feature film (IN HER SHOES) and TV (THE PRACTICE), it's a prolific career that keeps on going--with no end in sight. [More]

Reviews for Who Is Norman Lloyd?
There are names that fill in the cracks of Hollywood myth, and Norman Lloyd’s story seals several gaps.
I'm still not convinced that Norman Lloyd "should" be a household name.
Pic's portrait of a collaborative artist whose contributions are as pervasive as they are unsung swims valiantly against the name-recognition tide.
Captures the joy of the man as he talks about working in the '30s with stage directors like Elia Kazan and Joseph Losey, or playing tennis with Chaplin under the bright L.A. sun.
