Stanley Kubrick was one of the few men in Hollywood who had it eating out of his hands. He is most famous for his films being incredibly precise and crisp down to every detail, he also well known for his reclusive behaviour and not being seen for months on end.
Some of his most well known work includes Charles Dickens novel The Shining and his most controveral film Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange. Stanley Kubrick started out as a photographer selling photos to the company Look. But it was after Kubrick had worked at Look as a full-time photographer that his friend Alex Singer suggested he make short documentaries which eventually lead him to his career as a filmmaker.
