Best known in his earlier days as the man who brought many classic novels to the screen, George Cukor’s 50-plus year directing career later expanded to include thrillers, screwball romantic comedies, and even musicals. He received five Best Director nominations over the course of his career and Oscars for “Wizard of Oz,” and “My FairLady.”  Other well-known films include “It Should Happen to You” (1954) and A Star is Born (1954).
