In publicity and mystique he was dubbed the "women's director" for guiding the most sensitive leading ladies to immortal performances, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Judy Garland, and--in ten films, among them The Philadelphia Story and Adam's Rib--his lifelong friend and collaborator Katharine Hepburn. 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, a rarity among the top echelon. Patrick McGilligan's biography reveals how Cukor persevered within a system fraught with bigotry while becoming one of Hollywood's consummate filmmakers."--Provided by publisher.Motion picture producers and directorsUnited StatesBiographyGay menBiographyElectronic books.Motion picture producers and directorsGay men791.43/0233/092BMcGilligan Patrick554684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452421703321George Cukor2449532UNINA
