It was the only way she could cry for the camera apparently.
Funny part was, Kubrik was RENOWNED for take hundreds of takes of the same scene, so that woman's face must have taken one hell of a beating.

How many weeks ya want to spend on physical abuse?
Some actors/actresses as so shit hot (suppose that's why they are paid well) and can switch on with the snap of fingers and present a totally different face and manner totally remote from their real character. Sometimes, tho very rare, I've noticed this with models in shoots - they can be totally deadpan but once ya start shooting the whole face comes to life in a flash (literally!). I like em models cos ya always know in advance what you will end up with - ie every frame usable content.
