Biography

On November 18, 2016, she began a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000 for Shelley Duvall, star of The Shining, who has been battling mental illness for decades. Kubrick saw Duvall that day with psychiatrist Dr. Phil McGraw on his syndicated Dr. Phil show. On the show, Duvall generally appeared to be dazed and exhausted, making very odd comments before admitting, "I'm very sick. I need help." In the episode, McGraw brings Duvall to a Los Angeles mental health clinic for treatment but she refuses the care and medication and flies back home to Texas. On November 22, Kubrick suddenly discontinued the funding effort and told all donors that they would have any donations refunded. Many accused the Church of Scientology of pressuring Kubrick to stop the funding, since the Church is strongly opposed to all forms of psychiatry and mental-health treatment. Kubrick maintains that according to Duvall's mother, her daughter is on social security disability and has benefits through SAG-AFTRA, both of which would be endangered by any large donations.

Daughter of Stanley Kubrick and Christiane Kubrick.

A musician and composer, by late 1998, she had become a member of the Church of Scientology. About this time, she was asked by her father to compose the score for Eyes Wide Shut, which was in post-production in London. Instead, the two had a falling out and Vivian returned to her home in California, with vain attempts by her father to get her to return. She would soon do just that, but this time to attend her father's funeral with a Scientology handler accompanying. She has since been estranged from her family. She did not come to visit her sister Anya when she was dying from cancer in 2009 and did not attend her funeral that same year, despite the two being very close while growing up.

Unused score: Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Like her father, she loves animals and has adopted several rescue dogs.
