Tennessee Williams' plays are classics. "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Glass Menagerie", and possibly his best-known play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", are renowned for their timeless quality, their drama, and their honest portrayal of American life.

The play takes place in 1950's Mississippi, on Harvey "Big Daddy" Pollitt's 65th birthday.

By Alyson Brodsy and Anthony Breznican · Friday, Sept. 5,2003 2:19 a.m.

LOS ANGELES -- The glory of being a famous cute kid can fade faster than the pages of an old Tiger Beat magazine.

Take Tina: Awakening the archetypes of rhythm & movement

By Eddie Anderson · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 2:10 a.m.
