“Movies gave me a sense of being alive in history, of belonging to a bigger, older world that existed before me, around me and ahead of me,” writes @LATimesTVLloyd. “They suggested a range of possibilities as to what one might make of a life."

The rising star, who died Monday at 25, stood out through subtlety in a cast full of bigger names and a series full of bombastic set pieces.

In my last week at @latimes it was important to me to tell this story about those behind the scenes of film and TV. They aren't on strike but have been struggling for months as studios pulled back production long before the walk outs -- w @StacyPerman
