Obituary: One of the longest lived of all people connected with show business, Norman Lloyd, often associated with Hitchcock and Welles and was an actor and a director, died at the premature death of 106. His directing credits included many episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and for a time, he even looked a bit like the Master of Suspense. He is also remembered for his role on the TV series, St. Elsewhere.
Lloyd also had what may well be the longest marriage in the history of Hollywood. He was married to his wife Peggy for 75 years, until she died at the young age of 98.

Born on November 8, 1914, in Jersey City, NJ, Lloyd began his showbiz career on the New York stage. He made his way to Broadway in 1927 with a replacement role in Crime. He later played Cinna in Mercury Theater’s 1937 production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and would continue his association with the Main Stem and the Bard in with a role in King Lear (1950) and later Measure for Measure, and directing a production of The Taming of the Shrew, both in 1957.
He ultimate would appear in 12 Broadway shows and direct two.
Lloyd also was a regular on the popular NBC radio program Words at War and The Calvacade of America. He later led a 1945 episode of Suspense.

Medina Spirit and two other horses trained by Bob Baffert will be under extra scrutiny in the days leading up to the second jewel of the Triple Crown. The Maryland Racing Commission and Baffert have agreed to the conditions for Medina Spirit, fellow Preakness runner Concert Tour, and Beautiful Gift, who is expected to run in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes on Friday.
"We reached an agreement with Mr. Baffert and his lawyers that allows for additional testing, additional monitoring -- essentially a watchlist to ensure the integrity of the sport leading up to the race," Maryland Jockey Club lawyer Alan Rifkin said. "We're very pleased to have that, and we appreciate Mr. Baffert's patience and the way in which his lawyers went about it."
