From the Paper:

"Stanley Kubrick, who many would describe as one of the greatest filmmakers every, was born in 1928 in the Bronx, New York. Believe it or not many would say that Kubrick was not a born writer or filmmaker, but rather one that was made. This is the result of some less than spectacular early attempts at writing and filmmaking. Though Kubrick did believe that college might be beneficial at some point in his life, he was actually not able to get into college due to his tremendously bad grades in high school (SK-TMF 1). His passions while young included "jazz drumming, chess and photography" (SK-TMF 1). Considered a "non-brilliant student", it took some time for Kubrick to begin pursing his real dream... filmmaking (SK-TMF 1)."
