Description

One of the highest-paid studio contract directors of his time, George Cukor was nominated five times for an Academy Award as Best Director. He was dubbed the "women's director" for guiding the most sensitive leading ladies to immortal performances. But behind the "women's director" label lurked the open secret that set Cukor apart from a generally macho fraternity of directors: he was a homosexual. Patrick McGilligan's biography reveals how Cukor persevered within a system fraught with bigotry.

Author Biography:

Patrick McGilligan's biographies include the Edgar-nominated Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light and Fritz Lang: The Nature of the Beast, a New York Times Notable Book. He coauthored (with Paul Buhle) the classic oral history Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist (Minnesota, 2012).
