Snapped at Stanley Kubrick, who is famous for doing a great deal of takes for every scene, while doing the rape scene with Malcolm McDowell and his "droogs" in Uhrwerk Orange (1971). The scene required for her to be completely nude, and Stanley's continuous calls for another take made her boil over in the end. She resented Kubrick for years after the incident.

After completing Uhrwerk Orange (1971), Corri kept in touch with director Kubrick, who complained to her about the problem he had of losing socks whenever he did the washing, so for Christmas she gave him a pair of bright red socks, a humorous reference to her scene in Orange, where after Alex had finished snipping off her red pajama suit, she was naked except for a pair of red socks.

Well-known expert on eighteenth-century portrait painting and the author of a book about the painter, Thomas Gainsborough.

She was the third actress cast as Mrs Alexander in Uhrwerk Orange (1971) after the previous two actresses (including Bernadette Milnes) quit the role due to the physical demands of playing a rape victim.

Picturegoer magazine described her as having "no nice little-girl-next-door nonsense about her".
