Trivia

Adrienne Corri

Edit
  • 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 Orange mécanique (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 Orange mécanique (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 Orange mécanique (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".
  • Ex-daughter-in-law of Raymond Massey and Adrianne Allen.
  • Her Italian father ran the Crown Hotel in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland.
  • Had had two out-of-wedlock children in the 1950s with film producer Patrick Filmer-Sankey, prior to her unsuccessful marriage to actor Daniel Massey.
  • Ex-sister-in-law of Anna Massey.
  • Children with film producer Patrick Filmer Sankey: Patrick, a museum director in Australia, and Sarah, a lighting designer in France.
  • According to some sources she appeared in a 1955 short film 'The Man Who Stayed Alive'.
