Lloyd, Harold 

Born Apr. 20, 1893, in Burchard, Neb.; died Mar. 8, 1971, in Hollywood, Calif. American motion-picture actor.

Lloyd graduated from a drama school in San Diego and began to appear in films in 1913. Between 1915 and 1917, Lloyd appeared in the popular Lonesome Luke series of one-reel films, which showed the influence of C. Chaplin. Gradually, Lloyd developed the distinctive persona that brought him world fame: the elegant, well-bred, and self-assured young man who pursues a goal stubbornly and imperturbably. Lloyd’s most characteristic films included Grandma’s Boy (1922), Safety Last (1923), and Girl Shy (1924). Harold Lloyd’s World of Comedy, a compilation of scenes from his films, appeared in 1962. Lloyd was also a director and producer.
