of the 1920s known for his athletic stunt work most famously shown in the 1923 classic, 'Safety Last.' A legend like contemporaries Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy and others.
Lloyd's mild mannered characters with glasses influenced many including Cary Grant in 'Bringing Up Baby' (1938) and Tony Curtis in 'Some Like It Hot' (1959).
- Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, 'Bringing Up Baby, (1938).
- Tony Curtis, 'Some Like It Hot' (1959).
- Lloyd's classic film, 'Safety Last' (1923). Some of Harold Lloyd's most amazing stunts and best silent comedy gags. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton may be much more famous today, but in the 1920s Harold Lloyd was one of the biggest stars in silent comedy. Shades of Johnny Depp in 'Benny and Joon.'
- 'What's My Line' TV show with Harold Lloyd.
