I've always been fascinated with Stanley Kubrick. Perhaps part of this was because prior to his death, many of us knew very little about him. I've read a few biographies but I'm still a little unclear as to when he actually became a permanent resident of England.
From what I understand, he was still living in NYC for both Fear And Desire and Killer's Kiss even though he did shoot Fear And Desire in California. He moved to Los Angeles prior to The Killing and also resided there for Spartacus and his work on One-Eyed Jacks. Presumably, he still maintained a residence in L.A. while he was over in Europe shooting Paths Of Glory. Everything after Spartacus was shot in Europe (mostly London).
Here's my questions:
1) When did he finally leave Los Angeles for good?
2) Did he ever live in NY again after living in LA?
3) Did he ever come back to the U.S. to visit once he moved permanently to England?
I've heard people say that he went to London to make Lolita and never came home, but someone else told me that he moved back to NYC briefly after Dr. Strangelove
