History: Look Magazine Photography By Stanley Kubrick
|
Stanley Kubrick's daughter Vivian has cameos in 2001: A Space Odyssey (as Heywood Floyd's daughter), Barry Lyndon (as a girl at the birthday party for young Bryan Lyndon), The Shining (as a party ghost), and Full Metal Jacket (as a TV reporter). His stepdaughter Katharina has cameos in A Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut, and her character's son in the latter is played by her real son. Kubrick's wife Christiane Kubrick appeared prior to her marriage to Kubrick in Paths of Glory, billed as Susanne Christian (her birth name is Christiane Susanne Harlan), and as a cafe guest in Eyes Wide Shut.
Personal life and beliefs
Film director Stanley Kubrick infrequently discussed personal matters in interviews, rarely spoke publicly at all, and was averse to travel. He was also reluctant to discuss the interpretation of his films, or the details of how he made them. His political and religious views do not neatly fit into any given pigeonhole. While earlier films like Paths of Glory seem to reflect an overtly progressive ideology, later films such as A Clockwork Orange can be construed to be equally critical of the political Left and Right. Fascinated by the possibilities of a supernatural reality, as reflected in films like Space Odyssey or The Shining, Kubrick was committed to no particular world-view.
