Thomas Lanier Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983), better known as Tennessee Williams, was a major American playwright who received many of the top theatrical awards. He moved to New Orleans in 1939 and changed his name to "Tennessee," the state of his father's birth. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for A Streetcar Named Desire in 1948 and for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955. In addition, The Glass Menagerie (1945) and The Night of the Iguana (1961) received New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards. His 1952 play The Rose Tattoo received the Tony Award for best play. Tennessee "MC Tennie" Williams, rival of Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde, was possibly one of the best gay playwrights born on Earth, second to Oscar Wilde. Born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, he would occasionally write poetry about his gay lover, Frank Merlo. Some say he did that to get attention for some reason, yet no one did care. After years of writing he gave up poetry, and instead pursued his new passion; The invention of the fruit bat. Rumor has it he died while choking on a Pepsi bottle cap. He wrote many plays that revolved around him.
