- Lloyd was born in 1910 in New York City, the son of David Rosenmond, a wholesale clothier. His father later changed the family name from "Rosenmond" to "Rosamond" though that change was never confirmed legally. When Lloyd was 19, his family lost most of its money in the 1929 stock market crash, and he left college in order to work full time as a comedy writer. He wrote gags for vaudeville comedians, including Bert Lahr, and later helped Fanny Brice create her radio character, "Baby Snooks." He joined Frank and Anne Hummert's Air Features radio production company and became the executive in charge of production for 18 successful radio soap operas, including "Our Gal Sunday," "Amanda of Honeymoon Hll," "Stella Dallas," "Mary Noble, Backstage Wife," "The Romance of Helen Trent," and "Lorenzo Jones." He married actress Miriam Battista in 1948, after the death of her previous husband, author Russell Maloney. Lloyd later legally adopted Miriam and Russell's daughter Amelia. In 1960, after radio soap operas had been mostly replaced by television soap operas, Lloyd moved with his wife and daughter to Los Angeles, where he became the associate producer for 20th Century Fox's "Peyton Place" television series. He died on August 24, 1964, of a heart attack.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Amelia Rosamond Hard
