Una Nilsson (Una O'Keefe) was Harry Nilsson's third wife and the mother of six of his children. Harry and Una met in an ice cream parlor, married at an airport, and honeymooned in the Watergate hotel.Visitor Comments: Geri Washburn Dozier (December 6, 2006)I used to work for Harry Nilsson as his private secretary. I would really appreciate it if you would put me in touch with Una Nilsson, whom I've lost track of after Harry's death. | Webmaster (December 18, 2006)Please contact Una Nilsson through her attorney, Lee Blackman. | Michele (November 25, 2010)I have noticed that voices are very hereditary and are often passed down through the same sex gene, Judy to Liza, George to Dhani...do any of Harry's sons sing? Did any of them inherit that incredible voice? | Steve Kahn (November 16, 2010)Hi Una,
I was Harry's product manager at RCA. Loved the man and loved the movie. I was surprised that no one from RCA was interviewed.
I have great memories working with Harry... even the days in the studio with John.
Btw, you have a lovely family
Best,
Steve Kahn
Edit On Hudson | Edo Fuenzalida - Los Angeles (October 31, 2010)Una, today (10/31/10) I just saw the movie about Harry's life. To me Harry was known for Without You, Everybody's talking and the coconut, his music played in Chile... Now watching the film I can see enormous work he had done, having so good friends like John and Ringo, I think I've missed a great guy. I think alcohol and drugs was a common problem in his time for rock and roll guys, so I can't complaint about that, other than he might have done a better job.
I felt the love for his children and how happy he was around them, a very important connection for him I guess.
XOXO
Edo | gina elisa (December 22, 2010)I am so happy Harry found a good woman like you. I loved his talent and his work since I first heard of him. I was about 12 or 13 years old. It sems the greatest artist are very sensitive. They documentary I just saw showed just what I thought about him from his music. I love the Point and made my children watch that. I love the sonf Life Line. I see you and his children as his life line. I am happy he had you to bring happiness into his life. | justin calvert (March 9, 2011)im a 30 yr old male in rural tn...i was raised on the great music of the 60's and 70's by my amazing father in the 80's....he had a 78 of "son of shmilsson." i was drawn to the cover of the album and its eccentric creativeness, then i heard it....it was the most wonderful and unique thing i had ever heard...i own "the point", any other harry albums i could get my hand on...he completely changed my life and what i thought i knew about music and vocal talents...he is my favorite vocalist of all time, and although i am from a different generation, harry transcends time and generations and i am forever changed by his music and talent...i love harry, and i introduce his many wonderful songs and talents to everyone in my life, everyone knows i am a "harryhead" and i miss him....i never knew him, but my heart and spirit are laden with the loss of his inspiration and love....to una, im so sorry for the loss of harry, but im sure you realize that you and your children got more time with a man that could change someone in seconds, than any other person, and you were obviously his world.....
harry forever,
justin | Colleenbawn (January 31, 2012)I just discovered this movie and what a treat it was to hear all that great music again....my children and I were huge fans as they were growing up. Una, I couldn't believe your story. When you first spoke , I said to myself "Thats an Irish accent , she has". Sure enough, they said you'd come from Dublin. I am from Tipperary..your sweet innocent look when you were young reminded me very much of myself as a young woman. I had three kids before I was 23...thats when we all moved to the USA.(My husband is a Corkman) Can't wait to share this movie with my children and grandchildren | Irish Fan (December 11, 2011)I first heard Harry's 'A Little Touch of Schmilsson' in the 1970's at a party. I was rivetted - by his wonderful voice, his unique expression of the song, and his sheer brilliance of interpretation. The recently shown documentary 'Who is Harry Nilsson' on the BBC prompted me to buy this great album, and the joy and pleasure of hearing it again is just sublime. I would also like Una to know how charming I found her story of their meeting and their life together. Every good wish to her and her family. | gwen andrix (January 15, 2012)Thank you for all the great music Harry ,you are missed | Stephen (July 19, 2011)A different species. No wonder LA was feeling aftershocks at his funeral. God bless him and his beautiful family. | SA (August 27, 2011)Una you made a difference !!!
Thanks, no one deserves grace, but it is given through people like you to others.
Hope you have only the best of life !!!
SA | Roland Gibeault (September 30, 2011)Thank you Harry for giving me a part of your life through your music and by doing so enhancing my life. Thank Una for doing this documentary it brought back old memories. | Eddie Curran (May 9, 2012)Absolutely loved the movie and am listening to his music now. However...as the movie develops, we get these comments about Harry's downhill slide and this great sadness about how things turned out. The truth -- and it was of course provided by the filmmakers -- is that his life had such a happy ending. Love at first site, a beautiful wife who adored him and he adored, children he doted on. he died in his sleep after professing the deepest love for his wife. professionally, maybe things didn't develop as they might have, but the guy had a blast, counted the Beatles as among his best friends, and his last years with that lovely Irish wife. I call that a happy story | | Add Your Comments About This Page ... |
