Williams visited Massee at his family home at Macon, Georgia and there was introduced both to the larger-than-life William Jordan Massee senior, who formed the basis of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof's Big Daddy, and to the clandestine world of young gay men in Georgia who's secretive and at times tortured lives would provide a theme that ran through much of Williams' work.
