MEET SUZANNE LLOYD

Suzanne LloydNot only will you be entertained watching Harold Lloyd on the silver screen, you will have the opportunity to meet his granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd,  producer and president of Harold Lloyd Entertainment, who will speak about her grandfather and his career. 

An enlightening biography of Suzanne Lloyd is to be enjoyed at the TCM Film Festival site.

WATCH HAROLD LLOYD IN “HOT WATER”

A rare film, Hot Water, from the collection of the Harold Lloyd estate will be hand-cranked by Joe Rinaudo, assisted by Gary Gibson. Dean Mora will narrate the film on the Mighty Wurlitzer.

Harold Lloyd’s films were not shown on television for decades (concensus was editing and commercials would not be appropriate), so the actor and his films are not as well-known as many other silent film stars. 

During the 1920’s Harold Lloyd was the most successful film star in the world. When he died, his entire film library was bestowed upon his granddaughter.  Suzanne Lloyd considers it an honor to preserve and promote Harold Lloyd’s legacy for future generations.

Joe Rinaudo and the Nethercutt consider it an honor to have Ms. Lloyd enlighten their attentive and appreciative audience as Joe cranks her grandfather’s films.

This event will be presented at the
Nethercutt Collection
Friday, October 26 at 8pm
