OLD FRIENDS

A special page in the continuing history of The Underview on 2001

(Below) Clinton Logan (center) gets close to two latter- day heroes: Keir Dullea (Dave Bowman, left) and Gary Lockwood (Frank Poole, right), the original Discovery crew, at a little- publicised convention in New York. Hal sent his apologies, still stuck somewhere out Jupiter way.

(Below) Proving that time heals all, here is the perpetrator and the victim of perhaps the earliest fictional murder ever committed. Dan Richter as Moon-Watcher (left) bludgeons his opponent One-Ear, some time around 4,000,000 B.C.
Here, in 2001, the costumes come off at last: victim Richard Woods (left) shares his memories with Moon-Watcher Dan Richter.

In this very special article, another of Dan Richter's fellow ape-men remembers his own time working on "2001: A Space Odyssey".

(Below) A couple of rare souvenirs from a time long ago, from the collections of people pictured above: Clinton Logan's scarce collectible, the Howard Johnson children's meal menu produced as a tie-in with the movie's original release in 1968; and Richard Woods' own invitation to the original press screening of 2001 in London.
