2001: An Actor’s Odyssey

“2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) is surely considered a great & complex chef-oeuvre by Stanley Kubrick.
And while most of us have no problem remembering the director’s name, as humungous as it is, I suppose we tend to unconsciously disregard the fact that the film had actors in it, Keir Dullea & Gary Lockwood to name a few. They played the two astronauts.
Here you’ll find some behind the scenes photos of these actors as they filmed “2001: A Space Odyssey”. You’ll notice that Kubrick is absent from most of these shots, let’s focus on their work for a change…I am not the author of these images. Copyright goes to Time.Life Magazine
