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.

We finally have a middle name for our guy. Drum rollllllllll….. It’s Keir Atwood Dullea. As if we didn’t already know how cute he is we get a cute, apropos middle name. Here are the scans I was able to get. By the way, I thought I’d let you know, I got the scans off of an Ebay listing. Beware of the listing. With the exception of the images I posted, the listing is asking a whole whack for the book. It’s listed at a whopping $99.99 with shipping free. Nothing gets my goat more than making money off of fans who would likely pay that amount. It’s like those who stake out celebrities and ask for their autographs only to go home and put it up on Ebay for close to the same amount as above. And a word to the wise, don’t post something online you don’t want out there. I have stated that none of the images on this site belong to me. I don’t carp when people take images from the gallery that I’ve provided freely…because none of the images belong to me. As for the ones Emily provided, she actually went to see Keir at the Monsterpalooza event and took the time to take the images herself. I appropriately credited her for her kind donation. More after the cut.
My apologies for not having being around. I’ve been going through some personal things and have had to take a bit of time away from the web. I’ve also had some issues regarding server space and the need to buy another package in order to keep this site on the web. Donations are greatly appreciated. Anything will help. I’m in the process of trying to get back into the swing. I have several images I want to get up in the gallery, namely event images with Keir. I have to tag them. Nothing intrusive, just a little something to let people know where the images came from. Hope you don’t mind?
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.
