Short answers, pulled from the story.
Stanley Kubrick was born on the 26th of July 1928 at the Lying-In Hospital in Manhattan, New York City. He died on the 7th of March 1999, a few days after finishing the editing of his final film, Eyes Wide Shut, at the age of 70.
Kubrick won his only personal Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968. The film was shot in Super Panavision 70 and its special effects were considered a first in cinema history.
Kubrick personally pulled A Clockwork Orange from release in the United Kingdom after receiving death threats following a series of copycat crimes linked to the film. It remained legally unavailable in the UK until after his death, and was not re-released until the year 2000.
Kubrick began his professional career as a photographer at Look magazine, first as an apprentice in 1946 and then as a full-time staff photographer. He sold his first photographic series to the magazine on the 26th of June 1945, while still in high school.
After completing 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick spent roughly two years researching a film about Napoleon, envisaging a cast of up to 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. MGM canceled the project in 1969 when it was already well into preproduction, and in March 2013 Steven Spielberg announced plans to develop it as a television miniseries based on Kubrick's original screenplay.
Kubrick believed that actors reached their deepest, least self-conscious performances only after many takes had depleted their conscious attention to technique. He explained that when actors had to think about their words, they could not work on the emotion, and he shot scenes repeatedly until concentration disappeared from their eyes.
