Guthrie McClintic
He was married to actress Katharine Cornell from 1921 until his death in 1961. It was considered a “lavender-marriage” as McClintic was generally acknowledged to be gay and Cornell had lesbian affairs with among others actress Tallulah Bankhead.
Moss Hart’s 1948 comedy “Light Up The Sky” is a satirical take on the contemporary theatre scene and follows the out of town trials of a Broadway bound play currently playing in Boston. Many of the characters are lightly disguised versions of real life theatrical luminaries of the day and Guthrie McClintic is considered to be the model for Carleton Fitzgerald the over emotional director (“I could cry”) of the unseen play being tried out.
