George Cukor
Died in 1983
George Cukor was born in New York in 1899, the son of Hungarian Jewish immigrants. He worked in the theatre in Rochester and then on Broadway, went to Hollywood in 1929 as a coach and then dialogue director, and acquired there a reputation as a director of actresses, which he rejected. Dismissed from a famous shoot, for his slowness and a disagreement over the script according to the producer's documents, the version that blames the lead actor not being established, he directed some fifty films from 1930 to 1981 and received only one Oscar for directing, at sixty-five, after four nominations. He died in Los Angeles in 1983.
