"In
1937 (when Tennessee was 26)... his sister Rose was institutionalized
for schizophrenia. Tennessee Williams was close to his sister and feared
for much of his life that he, too, would lose his mind.
While Williams
was away from St. Louis, his mother consented to have a lobotomy performed
on Rose. Because this was one of the first lobotomies in the country,
there was no cost for the operation. Rose lost her anxieties, but also
much of her mind, slipping into a dreamlike existence that lasted the
rest of her long life. Tennessee never forgave his mother for allowing
the operation. "
