Happy birthday, Tennessee Williams
It is the birthday of writer Tennessee Williams (1911), one of the greatest American playwrights ever. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his play A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and another for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955). Williams also wrote The Glass Menagerie (1944), Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Orpheus Descending (1957), Suddenly, Last Summer (1958), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), and The Night of the Iguana (1961), many of which have been adapted for film. Williams wrote two collections of poetry, two novels, and numerous one-act plays.
