She was prominently cast as an alluring spy in "George Arliss"' first talkie "Disraeli" (1929); one year later, at the tender age of 30, she was seen as the matronly Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez in "Charley's Aunt". Swinging back to younger roles in 1933, Lloyd was cast as the tragic Nancy Sykes in the "Dickie Moore" version of "Oliver Twist". By the late 1930s, Lloyd had settled into middle-aged character roles, most often as a domestic or dowager. "Doris Lloyd" remained active until 1967, with substantial roles in such films as "The Time Machine" (1960) and "The Sound of Music" (1965). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
