Harold Lloyd, born in 1893, became one of the greatest comic actors
in America. This is a compendium of all things Lloyd, with entries
on noteworthy persons, recurring themes, crucial elements of
Lloyd's life (birth, education, marriage, family, hobbies, death,
etc.), his prime co-stars and co-workers, the films that made him a
legend (201 of them), and numerous other topics covering every
facet of the man and the actor, all fully cross-referenced and
accompanied by a vast collection of images and advertisements.
Lacking the vaudeville training of his chief contemporaries, Lloyd
nonetheless grew quickly from a gag technician to a skilled actor.
In 1917, he created his famed Glass Character, but a live bomb
amongst the props maimed his hand two years later. Keeping his
handicap hidden by use of a revolutionary prosthetic, he continued
to both charm and enthrall audiences. 'The action may be
outlandish', he said of himself, 'but the characters - most
particularly the central character - must not be'. An Appendix A
lists the Lloyd shorts in the order produced, with the Production
Code assigned by the Rolin Film Company officials. Appendix B is a
proper filmography, listing each Lloyd film from 1913 to 1966 in
chronological order.
