George Cukor

(New York, Usa, 1899 - Los Angeles, Usa, 1983) was an American film director who, over a career spanning fifty years, from the early 1930s, at the dawn of the sound era, to the early 1980s (his last film, Rich and Famous, was released in 1981), made films for the Hollywood industry, becoming one of its leading names. Best known for his sophisticated comedies, in which he made full use of his skill in working with actors, particularly actresses, he received five Academy Award nominations for Best Director, winning the statuette in 1965 for My Fair Lady. Among his masterpieces are Jezebel (1938), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Suspicion (1940), Adam’s Rib (1949), A Star Is Born (1954), and Love Among the Ruins (1975), the latter made for television.
