Harold Lloyd

Harold Clayton Lloyd (April 20, 1893–March 8, 1971) was an American actor.

Retirement

By the 1940s, Lloyd was no longer active in the film industry. Instead, he remained involved in a number of other interests, including important civic and charity work. Inspired by having overcome his own serious hand injury, he was very active with the Shriner's Organization for Crippled Children, where in the late 1940s he rose to the highest elected national office. Lloyd was very involved with photography, including 3D photography and early color film experiments. Some of the earliest 2-color Technicolor tests were shot at his Beverly Hills home.
