One of the highest-paid studio contract directors of his time and dubbed the "women's director", George Cukor was five times nominated for an Academy Award as Best Director; and 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.
