George Cukor Fast Facts:
First became fascinated with theater as a boy when his mother dressed up and entertained party guests at home.
Began his professional career as stage manager and Broadway director before heading to Hollywood in 1929 to work as a dialogue coach.
Because of his inspired work with actresses, he was considered a "woman's director," a description he didn't relish out of concern that it suggested his films were less serious and that it was code for his being gay.
After preproduction, he was fired as director of
Gone With the Wind
by producer David O. Selznick, primarily due to the demands and discomfort of Clark Gable.
At age 43, enlisted in the Army Signal Corps during World War II to direct training films; was honorably discharged a year later.
