Keir Dullea as he appeared in 2001: A Space Odyssey

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he was raised in the Greenwich Village section of New York City where his parents ran a bookstore. He made his film debut in 1961's The Hoodlum Priest, in which he played a juvenile delinquent, though he had an earlier role as the German pilot in a 1960 television adaptation of Mrs. Miniver. He played a number of emotionally disturbed youths in films such as David and Lisa (1962) and Bunny Lake is Missing (1965). After "2001," he portrayed the Marquis de Sade with John Huston in the movie "De Sade" (1969).
