The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone is based on a short 1950 novel of the same name by American writer and playwright Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III [1911-1983]. She was not as analytical as she supposed. These are considered separate and distinct works for LibraryThing cataloging. The novel follows the purposeless (but not directionless) "drift" of a ruthless, career-driven actress now retired and in her 50s (retired because the tradition of playing Juliet until an actress is about to drop dead no longer works these days, sadly), who has to pay young men to date her.

What to say about this one? I'm half in agreement, and totally in love with Tennessee Williams. The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone Vivien Leigh is the star of this gloomy, pessimistic portrait of the artist as a middle-aged widow, from Tennessee Williams' only novel. It’s ambiguous on many levels, yet remarkably frank on some other ones, especially sexuality. A play next; a play will do.
