Revision as of 17:02, 3 December 2002 by 212.67.98.116 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 - March 7, 1999) was an American film director born in New York.
Kubrick had a background in photography and was well known as a perfectionist on set. He moved to England in the early 1960s to make Lolita and lived there for the rest of his life. He owned and resided at Childwickbury Manor in the district of St Albans. Much of the filming of his later movies involved careful reproduction of foreign locations, e.g., scenes in Full Metal Jacket were filmed at Beckton Gasworks. He was sometimes described as a recluse, but people who know him have said that he spent much of his time in the company of others, while conducting his film work.
Kubrick died before filming on his last project, AI, began.
