Keir and his wife Mia are due to start rehearsals for a reading of Morning’s At Seven at the Westport County Playhouse. More below the cut:
Mia Dillon, Keir Dullea, Maria Tucci Set for Morning’s at Seven Reading at Westport Country Playhouse
Casting has been announced for Paul Osborn’s Morning’s at Seven to be presented as a “Script in Hand” reading at Westport Country Playhouse on Monday, February 13, at 7pm. Anne Keefe will direct.
This Tony Award-winning comedy tells of four sisters who all reside in the same town, three of them living next door to each other, and know intimately the lives of the others. But each maintains her own secrets, hidden to preserve the tranquility of their family.
The cast will include Geneva Carr (Myrtle Brown), Frank Converse (Thor Swanson), Mia Dillon (Cora Swanson), Keir Dullea (Carl Bolton), Beth Fowler (Ida Bolton), Edward Herrmann (David Crampton), Lizbeth Mackay (Aaronetta ‘Arry’ Gibbs), Maria Tucci (Esther Crampton) and Stephen Wallem (Homer Bolton).
Where is this guy getting his energy? I’d love to see this.
Keir Dullea to be played by “True Blood” actor Jim Parrack in the film “Sal” about the late Sal Mineo.
Keir is going to be portrayed by “True Blood” actor Jim Parrack in the film “Sal” a biopic of the late actor Sal Mineo. What’s wrong with this picture? Plenty. Parrack looks nothing like Keir. I tried to find a photo of Keir from around the time of Mineo’s death, which was 1976. I really don’t see any kind of a resemblance to Keir. I do, however, between Parrack and Keir’s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY co-star Gary Lockwood. I could have understood that casting choice. Parrack apparently found no need to contact Keir about playing him. He rather decided to do that time-honoured thing of “relying on his own instincts”. Yeah, like that works when the real guy is still around. As much as I like Parrack, I just can’t like this casting choice.
Keir is to give a reading of A SMALL WORLD by Frederick Stoppel at The Fairfield Museum and History Center.

This staged reading is the comic interpretation of a meeting between two unique and very different personalities. The Walt Disney film Fantasia was an unprecedented integration of music and image, including music by classical composer Igor Stravinsky. Small World, a new play by Frederick Stroppel, invites us into a conversation between internationally-acclaimed composer Stravinksy, 58, and Walt Disney, the dynamic 38-year-old creator of Mickey Mouse, as they discuss the groundbreaking film Fantasia.

YEAR: 2012
LOCATION: THE WORLD WIDE WEB
SUBJECT: ACTOR KEIR DULLEA
MISSION STATUS:
Best known for his role as Commander Dave Bowman in the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, Keir has largely been underappreciated in terms of the high profile roles he should have been able to get after this astonishing film premiered in 1968, however, his face is one we know and his immortal words, “Open the pod bay doors HAL,” are iconic. Although Keir has worked for decades, this site’s aim is to establish a place for his work on the web. It’s hoped that people who didn’t know of Keir come to know of him and begin to experience anew what Keir has worked hard in accomplishing.
MISSION ANALYSIS:
I’m hoping you come along with me in the building of this site. I know for me it’s been a labor of love to bring to the net something of a permanent residence for Keir’s work and for him the man. Thanks for your time and for your love of Keir.
