The prolific Williams is one of America’s greatest playwrights. Classics like "Street Car Named Desire," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Baby Doll" and "The Glass Menagerie," received critical acclaim on stage and screen and landed Williams four Drama Critic Circle Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
