 "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983)

 Our late, great American playwright & gay icon. 

After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), closely reflecting his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), 

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. 

His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is considered one of the finest American plays of the 20th century.

Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs including ONE ARM and DESIRE AND THE BLACK MASSUER.
