Lloyd worked with Hitchcock

Norman Lloyd, whose role as kindly Dr. Daniel Auschlander on “St. Elsewhere” was a single chapter in a distinguished stage and screen career that put him in the company of Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin and other greats, has died. He was 106.

Lloyd’s credits stretch from the earliest known U.S. TV drama, 1939’s “On the Streets of New York” on the nascent NBC network, to 21st-century projects including “Modern Family” and “The Practice.”

His most notable film part was as the villain who plummets off the Statue of Liberty in 1942’s “Saboteur,” directed by Hitchcock, who also cast Lloyd in the thriller 1945’s “Spellbound.”

His other movie credits include “The Southerner,” “Limelight,” “Dead Poets Society,” “In Her Shoes” and “Gangs of New York.”
