"
Stanley Kubrick was one of America’s most influential filmmakers. But his special skill behind the camera and his ability to create visual intrigue were evident long before he became a Hollywood icon. At the age of 18 Kubrick joined the Look magazine and became the youngest staff photographer in the magazine’s history. He continued to work for Look until 1950 when he left to pursue film making. Here are some of his iconic photographs of New York life in the 40s, taken for Look magazine.

4. His first documentary: Day Of The Fight

About a boxer he did a series on for LOOK. I think you can see him ringside loading his movie camera between the legs of the boxers when the KO occurs. His friend Alexander Singer was shooting with a tripod while SK used a handheld.

6. Looks like someone made a movie about Rosemary Williams including the Kubrick scene

Broadway showgirl Rosemary Williams was an up-and-coming model and star of the stage in the early ‘50s. She graced the covers of everything from pinup magazines to Life between 1949 and 1951. In the final year of her fame, Williams – who also went by Williamson – was pulled into the scandalous court trial of her ex-boyfriend Sid Levy, charged with conning several of Rosemary’s wealthy acquaintances out of $50,000, and using the money to buy her fur coats, diamond bracelets, and even a Cadillac. The phone calls from producers stopped, and she disappeared from the public record after 1953.

In Two-Faced Beauty I will re-create a short period in the life of Rosemary Williams, whose name I share. As a woman, Rosemary sought empowerment through the attention she gained from fame and the gifts she gained through guile. I am fascinated by the circumstances of her life, and the twists it took.

The script is built entirely from “found words” obtained in court files, magazine articles, gossip columns, transcripts of police interrogations, and wire-tapped phone calls from the apartment she shared with three showgirls. They reveal a world of auditions, prostitution, intimate relationships, photo-shoots, eviction notices, hangovers and black eyes.

Two-Faced Beauty will be presented in ten vignettes. The vignettes will be linked together into a longer, narrative film to be submitted to film festivals, but they may also be shown on separate screens as a multi-channel work in a gallery. This “accordion” format suits my interdisciplinary approach to art and to film. While there is strong narrative content in the film, it is at its heart an experimental work, exposing the tension between the everyday details of Rosemary’s life and the resonating power of her story.

10. The lab technician at Columbia really caught my attention.

It was the shirt and tie, I think. No matter what they were doing back then, they always seemed to dress so neatly.

A couple of years ago, I appeared in a play at our local community theater - "The Farnsworth Invention" by Aaron Sorkin. It told the story of Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of electronic television. There was one scene detailing the construction of the various parts of the first television, and it showed a technician engineering some parts. The costumer kitted him out with a heavy leather apron, goggles, and thick gloves. But what really sold the costume was the vest, shirt and tie he wore with his protective gear. Just like the guy in the Kubrick photograph. Neatly dressed.
