Harold Lloyd caricature.

Harold Clayton Lloyd, Sr. (April 20, 1893 – March 8, 1971) was an  American actor, comedian, film director, film producer, screenwriter and stunt performer who is most famous for his silent comedy films. One of my all time favorite comedians, he developed a style known as “thrill comedy”. He made many short films for Hal Roach. His better known feature films are GRANDMA’S BOY, SAFETY LAST, GIRL SHY, WHY WORRY?, THE FRESHMAN, THE KID BROTHER and SPEEDY, from his silent period. His better talkie efforts were FEET FIRST, WELCOME DANGER, MOVIE CRAZY and THE MILKY WAY. This caricature of Lloyd was presented as a gift to Harold Lloyd’s granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd  Hayes during her visit to Mexico City in 2008, promoting the Harold Lloyd Collection on DVD.
