First page of Tennessee Williams's will

The article currently claims: "Along with Williams's sister Rose, Carroll was one of the two people who received a bequest in Williams's will." However, not far away in the article is a picture of the first page of Williams's will: File:Tennessee williams will.jpg. And clearly visible in Article II is a gift to another person, Lady Maria St. Just, of all royalties and proceeds from his play The Two-Character Play. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

If we aim to be properly encyclopedic, shouldn't we add a mention of Williams's recently discovered short story "The Summer Woman," as well as his recently discovered radio play The Strangers? ~2025-31208-44 (talk) 18:13, 20 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
