Josie Lloyd


Josie Lloyd, born in 1940, is an actress and daughter of noted producer, director, and actor Norman Lloyd and Peggy Craven Lloyd, who was also an accomplished Broadway actress and director.

As a teenager in the late 1950s, Josie gained on-set experience in television production by observing her father's acting and directorial work on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. On that series in 1959 she performed her first speaking role on television in the episode "Graduating Class", which was directed by Herschel Daugherty and involved her father as associate producer. The episode stars Wendy Hiller as a careworn but prim teacher of European literature at an all-girls college named "Briarstone" and Gigi Perreau as a seemingly troubled, wayward student in Hiller's class. Lloyd for her part portrays one of Perreau's classmates named Vera Carson, who argues with Hiller and questions the method of the girls' instruction and the relevance of what they are being taught. At one point in their classroom exchange, Vera declares with frustration, "I don't see why we have to waste time on a lot of people who have been dead for hundreds and hundreds of years . . . ."

The year after her role in "Graduating Class" Josie had a brief uncredited performance as a girl at a New Year's Eve party in the film Studs Lonigan. She then returned to television, where between 1960 and 1967 she worked on a variety of series. She had two additional roles on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, as well as multiple performances on Dr. Kildare, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour [episode "Body in the Barn" (1964)], The Farmer's Daughter, and The Andy Griffith Show.

Josie Lloyd appeared in four episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. Her first two appearances, in 1961, were as the daughter of Mayberry's Mayor Pike (Dick Elliott), once under the character name Juanita, once as Josephine, and Lydia Crosswaithe (2 episodes).
