ODYSSEY ~ KEIR DULLEA ONLINE @ keirdullea.org is a website dedicated to the work of American actor Keir Dullea. I am in no way affiliated with his person, his management, nor his family.

Due to the proclivity for spammers, I have decided to close the Keir Dullea Wikia. Unfortunately the database is hard to update to more stable versions but that might not solve the spam problem. I’m sorry to both Nichole and Emily who did work on it. Thanks guys for helping. I can achieve the same aims here on the main site with regards to Keir’s film, television and stage work with better control over what appears. There is no way to monitor what goes in there since it is an open source database and open to anyone wishing to add information or spam.
I’m gradually acquiring some images I’ve been eying for a while now, though they’re not cheap, that I’ve added to the gallery. Expect some more event images to come. These images I’ve added are stills from Keir’s turns as Commander Dave Bowman from Stanley Kubrick’s monumental film 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and its sequel directed by Peter Hyams, 2001: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT or as I like to call it 2010: ODYSSEY TWO. One request: If you want to repost someplace else or blog on Tumblr or some other social networking site, please don’t. These were really hard to acquire and as taken me a couple of weeks of hard negotiations to get them due to how old they are. I’ve also decided not to tag them because of how nice they are. Please don’t make me sorry. I’m hoping to get more up soon. Watch this space.
Finally the header will view properly! I have three event sets of images for you. A couple of the events have Keir’s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY co-star Gary Lockwood (Frank Poole) in them. Hope you like.

Like the title says I’m sorry I’ve been MIA-Missing in Action, and not Mia Dillon, but there has been a lot going on in my life of late. Too many personal issues going on for my liking. I want to say thanks to Emily for pointing out the Keir Dullea Wikia has been officially spammed. I’m investigating how to keep the site spam free. Sorry for that guys. I also know the header looks a little wonky. For some reason when I add audio files the thumbnailer in the header that displays the last uploads to the gallery isn’t displaying the MP3 icon in the box. I’m trying to find out why. I’ll have that remedied soon. I’m also trying to get some of the things Frank and Emily have provided me, but the process is taking longer than I’d hoped, the aforementioned personal issues plus I’m trying to get going on my novel OUBLIETTE in which I’ve created a character that is to be a composite of Keir. Emily has provided some of Keir’s films for screencapping but the issue is the caps will end up a little on the small size and I’m trying to find out how to convert the films into a Bluray format or at least an HD version that will result in larger caps but not blow the frames all out of proportion. I’ve been struggling with this since I began capping Keir’s film DAVID AND LISA. Most of the videos I have won’t allow for resizing of the images due to the frame sizes, thusly blowing the pixels out so the images are severely distorted. The only way to fix this is to have a frame size in the same size as I want the screencaps. This process takes a little time to complete. So please be patient. I’m hoping to have some other things of Keir’s up tonight so I can fix the last uploads box in the header. Thanks for understanding.
Any of Keir’s fans will know Keir recorded a record album back in 1966, probably between his roles of Steven Lake in BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING and Dave Bowman in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Having lived back then I can tell you this album was standard for the time. I remember albums by actors Richard Chamberlain who at that point was playing the very handsome Dr. Kildare, and other actors who experimented with the medium. LIstening to this album I’d like to say that I really wish Keir had done another with material from such 60s luminaries as Simon & Garfunkle, Denny Doherty and John Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas, or even Jan & Dean. Listening to Butterfiles are Free I could really hear Keir doing double harmony on such songs as Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Sounds of Silence, or even California Dreamin’. I could even have heard him in the 70s recording an album with songs from Elton John (Daniel, Levon) or early David Bowie, perhaps even Space Oddity. Too bad no one encouraged him to keep singing. Anyway I hope you enjoy listening. All files are in MP3 format and can be listened to through whatever default music player you have. If anyone would like a copy of the album, I can upload a zip file. To get to the section in the gallery where the files are uploaded, click on the album cover of Keir below. Enjoy.
