Bridges began his film career in Western films in 1941. The most famous of his films of the time can be called “High Noon”, where Bridges played a deputy sheriff who refused to help the valiant protagonist. From Westerns, he somehow quietly switched to action fiction, and recently was inclined to comedic roles.
His marriage to Dorothy Simpson lasted more than fifty years. In addition to two sons, Bridges has a daughter Cindy and several grandchildren. Lloyd has always maintained that only his family has helped him make one of the longest and busiest careers in Hollywood.
On March 10, 1998, Lloyd Bridges died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. At the time of his death, he was accompanied by his eldest son Bo, daughter Cindy and wife Dorothy.
