Norman Lloyd, 'St. Elsewhere' and 'Saboteur' star, dead at 106

 Actor Norman Lloyd has died at the age of 106.

Lloyd's son, Michael Lloyd, said his father died Tuesday , 11/05/2021, at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

In 2014, in recognition of his 82 years in show business, and reaching the age of 100, the Los Angeles City Council proclaimed that his birthday of Nov. 8, would be honored as "Norman Lloyd Day."

The actor was born in Jersey City, N.J. in 1914 and joined showbiz by making his Broadway debut in "Crime" in 1927.

His longevity secrets are something we can all learn from. “I don’t eat shellfish, I drink wine moderately and have one whiskey every evening before dinner,” Lloyd told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview to mark his 100th birthday. “I eat meat, poultry and fish in proper proportion, nothing to excess.” (He’s also an avid tennis player who once was partners with Charlie Chaplin.)

But he chalks it all up to more than just a healthy lifestyle. “I think the word that I might apply here is ‘attitude.’ You must be active, you must be positive, even if things don’t go the way you want them to. I think if you allow yourself to mope and feel sorry for yourself, it can take years off your life.”

 Well said.

Lloyd playing Mr. Nolan in "Dead Poet's Society" and was nominated for two Emmy awards for producing the TV series "The Name of the Game" in 1970 and the made-for-television movie "Steambath" in 1974.
