keir dullea
i've heard that on meeting him for the filming of BUNNY LAKE, noel coward smiled and said "keir dullea, gone tomorrow."
shareLove it! That is quite amusing. Even if it is apocryphal it is still a great line and very "Cowardly".
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
I've heard Sir Noel credited with saying that before too! What a nasty old queen! LOL!
Perhaps it was a curse! Even though Mr. Dullea has worked consistently to this day, his name is not exactly what you would call "household"!
O, to be able to whip up a smart aleck remark at the drop of a beret. If half the quotes attributed to him are true, he had a "rapier like wit" indeed! Glad not to be at the receiving end of the barbs!

Kier was a beautiful man and straight. I think Noel was a bit jealous and frustrated. Great whip though.
sharemls4182 says > Kier was a beautiful man and straight.I believe he's still alive but I know what you mean. I agree! He's also a fine actor. I recently saw Hoodlum Priest in which he makes his film debut. He was excellent in the role. He also does a great job in this movie. Now I look forward to seeing his other projects and will seek them out.
Meanwhile, Noel Coward is long gone. He may have had more name recognition but that's not something everyone strives for in their lives. The quip may seems clever to some but what exactly did he mean? Jealousy and frustration seem like the best explanation to me.
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate] share
You think Sir Noel never met a straight man before?
Or that because he was gay, he necessarily wanted to seduce every young straight man he met?
Rubbish.
He made the comment because he was one of the wittiest, most original people who ever lived. And because at the time, Mr. Dullea had quite a high opinion of himself and let everyone know it.
Oh I see. You were THERE? Tell us the whole story.
A bitchy comment is a bitchy comment.
I've been around enough nasty old queens to assume what Noel's motivation.
Your guess is as good as mine so settle down Mary.
