Norman Lloyd passed away yesterday at 106.

Just saw that. I remember him from St. Elsewhere in the 80s and as the hard-ass headmaster in Dead Poets Society.

106. Holy crap, that's a long life.

His first film was Hitchcock's Saboteur (1942). His final film was at the age of 100, 2015's Trainwreck.
