American composer Dominick Argento (b.1927) received the Pulitzer Prize in Music (1975) for his song cycle, "From the Diary of Virginia Woolf", which was premiered by Dame Janet Baker, mezzo soprano, and Martin Issep, pianist, at Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Michael Cunningham's 1998 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Hours, focused on three generations of women affected by Woolf's novel Mrs Dalloway. In 2002, a film version of the novel was released starring Nicole Kidman as Woolf, a role for which she won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Actress. The film also starred Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep. Edward Albee's play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, premiered in 1963 and was later adapted into a film version in 1966. The play/film utilizes Woolf's name as a musical punch-line for a joke that replaces "the big bad wolf" in the song "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad
Wolf?" with "Virginia Woolf". The play and film have nothing to do with the author or her life, though Albee asked Leonard Woolf's permission to use his late wife's name, and was granted it.
