Eugene O'Neill won four Pulitzer Prizes for Drama, making him the only playwright in American history to achieve that number. His Pulitzer-winning plays are Beyond the Horizon (1920), Anna Christie (1922), Strange Interlude (1928), and Long Day's Journey into Night (1957, awarded posthumously).
Eugene O'Neill received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936, after being nominated that year by Henrik Schück, a member of the Swedish Academy. In his acceptance speech, he dedicated significant attention to the Swedish writer August Strindberg, whose work he credited as a profound influence.
Eugene O'Neill was born on the 16th of October 1888 at the Barrett House hotel on Longacre Square, which is now Times Square in New York City. A commemorative plaque was dedicated at the site in 1957; the location is now occupied by 1500 Broadway.
Long Day's Journey into Night is an autobiographical play by Eugene O'Neill that dramatizes events from his own life, including the period immediately preceding his tuberculosis diagnosis and recovery in a sanatorium. O'Neill wrote it in 1941 but stipulated it should not be published until 25 years after his death; his wife Carlotta arranged its publication and stage production in 1956, and it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957.
Eugene O'Neill died on the 27th of November 1953 at the Sheraton Hotel on Bay State Road in Boston, at the age of 65. His final words were reported as, "I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room and died in a hotel room." A 2000 study of his autopsy concluded the cause of death was cerebellar cortical atrophy, a rare brain condition unrelated to alcohol or Parkinson's disease.
The Provincetown Players began performing O'Neill's early works starting in mid-1916, staging productions both in Provincetown and at their MacDougal Street theater in Greenwich Village. The group gave O'Neill his first significant theatrical platform, and several of those early productions, including The Emperor Jones, later transferred to Broadway.
