Wives – As of the early 1990’s Kubrick was married to his 3rd wife, Christine Harlan (who incidentally was the only woman to star in his 1957 film Paths of Glory. His second wife, Ruth Sobotka was ... a star in his 1955 film Killer’s Kiss. Toba Metz was Kubrick’s first wife, whom he knew since high school.
Aldiss sent Kubrick a collection of his short stories which contained ‘Super Toys Last all Summer Long’, written in 1969 for a special issue of Harpers and Queen magazine. Only two thousand words long, ‘Super Toys’ is set in a future where birth control is rigorously imposed. While waiting for permission to bear a real child, an executive in a company that produces androids – flesh and blood artificial humans – brings home an android boy, David, together with his android teddy bear, as companions for his wife. Neither the reader nor David, who frets to his teddy that his mother doesn’t love him, knows until the end that he’s artificial. Aldiss couldn’t imagine what Kubrick saw in the story or why he wanted to adapt it, though he surmises it was the theme of the failure of mother and child to communicate.
