Lloyd Hughes (actor)

Born in Bisbee, Arizona Territory, Hughes received his education at the Los Angeles Polytechnic School. He sought a career as an actor early in life, and his clean-cut appearance and ability soon gained him recognition. His first role as leading man was opposite Mary Pickford in Tess of the Storm Country. Other roles included Love Never Dies opposite Madge Bellamy, and The Lost World with Wallace Beery and Bessie Love. He made the transition to sound, and worked as an actor through the late 1930s, including a role with John Barrymore in the 1930 film, Moby Dick.

Hughes made two films in Australia in 1937 for Ken G. Hall and Cinesound Productions: Lovers and Luggers and The Broken Melody.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article166627192 |title=LLOYD HUGHES HAS CHARM |newspaper=The Newcastle Sun |issue=6081 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=11 June 1937 |accessdate=6 July 2024 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}} {{Citation
