died May 10 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 106. A family friend confirmed the news to Deadline.of which he was the last surviving member. On television, he directed most of Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense pieces and starred on the NBC medical dramaon the occasion of the actor’s 106th birthday and receiving the Legacy Award last year.
“With Norman at last taking his final curtain call,” he wrote, “there truly is no significant actor left who was part of the politically engaged New York theatre of the 1930s, worked with major Hollywood filmmakers whose careers stretched from the silent cinema into the 1960s, was a pioneer in television and always kept his hand in with his first love, the stage.
Added Deadline’s Peter Bart: “Norman loved spinning stories of his encounters with Charlie Chaplin and other legendary figures with whom he interacted. I often played tennis with him until he reached 100. If he missed a shot, he would comment, “When I played with Bill Tilden, he would tell me how to improve my backhand. Feel free to do the same.'”
