George Cukor: A Double Life (Paperback)

"That rarity of rarities among Hollywood biographies: a full-bodied study of a man and his metier, equally insightful about the life and the art." -Andrew Sarris, The New York Times

"Full of information about every aspect of Cukor's career and refreshingly candid about his sexuality, McGilligan's book throws some much-needed light on Gay Hollywood in the heyday of the studios." -The Advocate

"This funny and surprising book, with its vigorous portrait of Hollywood's most glamorous age, is an exemplary critical biography and an important film book. It propels Patrick McGilligan into the front ranks of film biographers." -The Washington Post Book World

"McGilligan's biography is the defense that Cukor could never bring himself to write. Much more than just a posthumous 'outing,' it gives Cukor his full due as a director of both style and wit, whose long career is all the more impressive given the double life he was forced to live." -Los Angeles Times Book Review
