An actress on stage years later was going to play Blanche and was trying to understand the character. She asked Tennessee Williams what he thought happened to Blanche after the play. Without a pause Tennessee said, "She did fine at the hospital, slept with some of the handsome young doctors and got out and opened a chic little shop in the Quarter."

I like to think that with some kindness and understanding she would have somewhat recovered...maybe still be a bit of kilter and eccentric, but functional enough to live in society with the rest of us.
