Auction History Result 6t006 STANLEY KUBRICK signed letter '68 he has no idea what he is going to do about the music! Date Sold 2/12/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed Letter (measures 8 1/2" x 11") (Learn More) Stanley Kubrick was a director from the 1950s to the 1990s. Some of his movies include: Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), and Full Metal Jacket. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Stanley Kubrick! Note that he wrote a reply (and signed it) on a letter that composer Phillip Lambro had sent to him, asking him to listen to his music. Kubrick wrote that he has "no idea what I'm going to do about the music". Since 2001 had already opened, it seems he must have been referring to the movie he tried to make at this time, which was a biography of Napoleon, and Kubrick spent 2 years on the project, but it never materialized. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately. Condition: very good to fine. There are some tiny stains in the top left blank corner. Learn More about condition grades
