In 1955, Vladimir Nabokov wrote about a middle-aged literature professor who
succumbs to the flesh and fancy of a 12-year-old girl he nicknames Lolita.

done. More than 50 years later, Kubrick’s film, starring Sue Lyon as the
precocious girl, still gets people talking thanks to its stellar
performances (Peter Sellers was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden
Globe) and, of course, Nabokov’s scintillating material. Here are 20 things

Kubrick had a fear of flying.
