Vivian Kubrick, the reclusive daughter of film legend Stanley Kubrick, shared a treasure trove of priceless pictures of her while she hung around the sets of her father's most famous films. The rare photos were all posted on Twitter last night in a string of nostalgic moments that Kubrick shared with her father.
The pictures show many of Kubrick's iconic sets in a completely new light. There's Vivian reclining in the Korova Milk Bar set from A Clockwork Orange; on location with her father during the filming of Full Metal Jacket, of which she composed the score; in the cutting room working on her documentary Making "The Shining"; even playing with baby chimps that were used in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Makes me smile: Me&Dad FMJ @ Beckton Gas Works: filthiest place on earth - 2 baths every night to get the filth off. pic.twitter.com/TtXlOYEya0

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
