Stanley Kubrick Fast Facts:

Was a teenage chess prodigy who won money playing matches.

Renowned for his perfectionism and slow shooting method; the Guinness Book of World Records claims he made Shelley Duvall do 127 retakes for a scene in The Shining (1980).
Steven Spielberg dedicated A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) to Kubrick, who worked on the script and was planning to direct the film before his death.
