[edit] Gay?

"It has been said that he was replaced as director on Gone with the Wind, because Clark Gable did not like him. He was well known for being homosexual."

Did whoever wrote this mean to state that He was replaced because he was gay? If so, then say so. If not, these sentences should be separated, because they look like an example of 'weasel by association'. DJ Clayworth 19:06, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Read the footnotes to the article for some documented reasons why Cukor was replaced. Nothing in David Selznick's private memos say Gable had anything to do with it, and Cukor never blamed Gable in interviews he gave. — Walloon 04:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Innacuracies in the Cukor biography

The Cukor biography implies that he directed the films "Dinner at Eight", "David Copperfield" and "Camille" at RKO when in fact (and so stated in the Wikipedia articles on these films) these films were made by MGM'. Since I am new to Wikipedia and have no experience in editing articles I do not want to personally make a correction but believe that in the interest of accuracy the article should be changed, perhaps by the original author.

Romeo and Juliet was also made for MGM. Cukor may have established his reputation at RKO but I associate him at least as much with MGM. Will someone make these changes to the bio? IdaTuerk 13:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
