2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY ON THE BIG SCREEN WITH KEIR DULLEA Whitman Hall
"BC Goes to the Movies" presents Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece in 35mm! Hosted by Professor Foster Hirsch, this event is co-sponsored by the Department of Film, the Office of the Vice President of Finance and Administration, and Brooklyn Center Cinema. A Q&A will follow the screening with Keir Dullea.
Dullea attended Rutgers and San Francisco State, then launched his acting career in regional theater. He made a spectacular film debut in The Hoodlum Priest (1961), playing a born-to-hang juvenile delinquent. He was more sympathetic but no less emotionally disturbed in 1962's David and Lisa; as late as 1965, he was still playing mentally unstable youths in films like Bunny Lake is Missing. The biggest film hit with which Dullea was associated was 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) in which he played the time-and-space-travelling astronaut Bowman. He repeated this characterization (and answered several of the questions posed by 2001) in the 1984 sequel 2010. Though he'd been active on the New York stage in the 1950s, Keir Dullea did not appear on Broadway until 1970, when the 34-year-old actor portrayed a twentysomething blind man in "Butterflies are Free."
