Tennessee Williams. Born March 26, 1911. One of the greatest twentieth century playwright, Tennessee Williams attended Soldan and University City High Schools, and Washington University, before graduating from the University of Iowa.

Those works, along with "Glass Menagerie" and "Night of the Iguana," also won New York Drama Critics Circle Awards. Williams wrote nearly thirty full-length plays, two novels, and a number of short stories and plays.
