The Avengers Dossier, Page Eight

Here's another brief look at one of the supporting players from Season Four of "The Avengers".

SUZANNE LLOYD

In "The Murder Market", Suzanne Lloyd plays a "fixer" at a murder-for-hire firm masquerading as a dating service.

Born in 1932, Canadian actress Suzanne Lloyd moved to the U.S. in the mid-1950s to attend college and start her acting career. After gaining parts in a few stage plays, she made the move to television in 1958, with a small part in an episode of the short-lived anthology series "Lux Playhouse".

Lloyd remained busy with supporting roles of varying sizes and importance on television in the United States and Great Britain, with her recurring role as Raquel Toeldano on "Zorro" (in 1958) and her six appearances as six different characters on "The Saint" (between the years of 1964 and 1968).

Along the way, Lloyd landed leading roles in a few feature films--"Who Was Maddox" (1964), "The Return of Mr. Moto" (1965) and "That Rivera Touch" (1966)--but stardom eluded her and steady work became harder to come by as the 1960s wore on. So, in 1968, Lloyd retired from show business to focus on raising her daughter with then-husband Buddy Bregman. (Lloyd's daughter, Tracey Bregman has gone onto a successful career starring on soap operas. She's been acting since she was 11 years old, and she's been portraying a lead character on "The Young and the Restless" since 2001.)
