Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 — March 7, 1999) was an American film-maker whose work earned him a reputation as one of the greatest motion-picture directors of all time. Though born in the Bronx, New York, he lived for over half his life in England, making most of his greatest films there regardless of their actual setting. Kubrick made 13 full-length films, including just five in the last three decades of his life, partly due to the extensive research and attention to detail that his projects were known for.
Kubrick actually started out as a photographer and photojournalist. As a teenager he sold a photo to Look magazine and soon after joined their staff. In 1950, he made a short documentary on a boxing match, and thereafter moved into film-making. Kubrick not only directed but also wrote and produced most of his films, which covered a diverse range of genres, from science fiction to war.
