Lloyd
Lloyd Beardsley appeared early and often in Playgirl and other venues.
Lloyd Beardsley went to college to study pre-med and then on to med school but dropped out at some stage and started modelling. His father was a doctor and the family were a socially prominent one in Pasadena.
This is a beautiful photo and Lloyd was a really handsome guy. As SagebrushDan notes, he also modelled for Colt as Jerry Mansfield.
In the mid-70s he moved to Laguna Beach and then to Palm Springs where he ran a gay bar in nearby Cathedral City.
Sadly, Lloyd died in April 1990 aged 44 . Another life taken far too early.
Hope this is of interest. Amazing what you can find on the web
He has a bit of a smile, which makes this shot that much better.
ReplyDeleteI agree, B.D.
DeleteI've always liked Lloyd. He was also a Colt model. And reportedly a medical student at the time of these photos.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what sort of doctor he became? Or did he drop out to pursue other opportunities?

Thanks for the biographical information, Peter. Sad and all too common ending for the time.
DeleteThank you so much for the update. I was wondering what happened to him.
