About Tennessee Williams
Tennessee Williams (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright and screenwriter. Along with contemporaries Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama. He was an openly gay man and much of Williams's works were adapted to film. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays, and a volume of memoirs. In 1974, Williams received the St. Louis Literary Award from the Saint Louis University Library Associates. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
