Showgirl Rosemary Williams posing for a Look Magazine
article on her that was photographed by Stanley Kubrick |
It’s been 20 years this week since the death of movie director Stanley Kubrick (“Eyes Wide Shut, Barry Lyndon, Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining" and, of course, "Lolita).”
It’s been 70 years since Stanley Kubrick, then a fledgling Look Magazine photographer, snapped this picture of New York showgirl Rosemary Williams drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a Chesterfield in a New York City coffee shop.
His Look editors had him follow Miss Williams around for a day in the life article of the attractive club dancer. His penchant for including tall, stunning women in his films stayed with him his entire career, especially in “Eyes Wide Shut.”
Good chance his camera’s eye for beauty began with this cup of coffee.
