22. Neuroscience For Kids - O'Neill's Brain eugene gladstone O Neill was born in New York City on October 16, 1888. He hada reputation for heavy alcohol drinking, and he attempted suicide in 1912. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/oneill.html

Eugene O'Neill - What Went Wrong? April 22, 2000 The Man Eugene O'Neill is perhaps the most well-known American playwright. He was awarded Pulitzer Prizes in 1920, 1922, 1928 and 1957 and a Nobel Prize for literature in 1936. Yet for all of his writing success, O'Neill led a life filled with tragedy and he was afflicted with a misdiagnosed neurological disorder that contributed to his death. Now, almost 47 years after O'Neill's death and with the permission of O'Neill's surviving grandchildren, the autopsy results of this amazing writer have been released. These results, published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM, April 13, 2000), shed new light on O'Neill's health. Eugene Gladstone O'Neill was born in New York City on October 16, 1888. He had a reputation for heavy alcohol drinking, and he attempted suicide in 1912. In addition to surviving battles with malaria and tuberculosis, O'Neill struggled with bouts of depression, some of which required a stay in the hospital. Many biographers believe that depression also affected O'Neill's mother, father, brother and two sons. Two of O'Neill's sons, Eugene Jr. and Shane, committed suicide. Neurological Symptoms According to the new NEJM report, O'Neill noticed slight shaking (tremor) of his hands when he was a freshman at Princeton University in 1906. These tremors became worse over the years and in 1941 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

His main concern was with the anguish and turmoil that wrack the spirits of sensitive people. Eugene O'Neill set out to create meaningful drama in America at a time when the barriers against it were significant. Although outstanding dramatists were getting productions throughout Europe, American dramatists were locked into standard commercial practices by the monopolistic forces controlling the theater. As a result, by the time of O'Neill's first production (1916), the American theater was a quarter century behind European theater. Twenty years later, when O'Neill received the Nobel Prize for literature, America had assumed a leadership position in world drama; O'Neill was preeminent in this rise. Eugene O'Neill was born on Oct. 16, 1888, in New York City at a hotel on Broadway. His father was James O'Neill, an outstanding romantic actor. Eugene's mother was Ella Quinlan. Eugene had two brothers.....

Drama Fiction Poetry Textbook Site for: Understanding Literature Walter Kalaidjian - Emory University Judith Roof - Michigan State University Stephen Watt - Indiana University Drama Eugene O'Neill E ugene Gladstone O'Neill was the son of James O'Neill, an Irish-born actor of considerable reputation on the later nineteenth-century American stage, and Ella Quinlan O'Neill, who hailed from a middle-class Irish Catholic family.  Ella, born Mary Ellen, was raised in Cleveland and educated at the convent of St. Mary in Indiana, where she enrolled at age fifteen.  About that time, she met the handsome James O'Neill, who in 1872 at age twenty-six, was the leading actor at Cleveland's most distinguished theater.  Four years later, they met again in New York, when Ella saw O'Neill in a play and, drawing upon their former acquaintance, asked to meet him backstage.  They were married the following year, initiating a spiral of events that led both to familyl tragedies and the formation of America's only Nobel-Prize winning dramatist. Eugene O'Neill was born in a Broadway Hotel on October 16, 1888.  His brother James Jr. (Jamie) was born eight years earlier, and his second brother Edmund was born in 1883, only to die from measles a year and one-half later, creating in his mother a profound sorrow and sense of guilt that plagued her the rest of her life.  Overwhelmed by feelings of guilt for leaving the infant in a nanny's care and anger at husband for inducing her to accompany him on a brief tour, and suspicious that Jamie—jealous of the attention his baby brother was receivinghad intentionally exposed the baby to measles, Ella declined physically and emotionally.  Much of this history surfaces in what many regard as O'Neill's greatest play, the highly autobiographical

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Born October 16th, 1888, in New York City. Son of James O'Neill, the popular romantic actor. First seven years of my life spent mostly in hotels and railroad trains, my mother accompanying my father on his tours of the United States, although she never was an actress, disliked the theatre, and held aloof from its people. From the age of seven to thirteen attended Catholic schools. Then four years at a non-sectarian preparatory school, followed by one year (1906-1907) at Princeton University. After expulsion from Princeton I led a restless, wandering life for several years, working at various occupations. Was secretary of a small mail order house in New York for a while, then went on a gold prospecting expedition in the wilds of Spanish Honduras. Found no gold but contracted malarial fever. Returned to the United States and worked for a time as assistant manager of a theatrical company on tour. After this, a period in which I went to sea, and also worked in Buenos Aires for the Westinghouse Electrical Co., Swift Packing Co., and Singer Sewing Machine Co. Never held a job long. Was either fired quickly or left quickly. Finished my experience as a sailor as able-bodied seaman on the American Line of transatlantic liners. After this, was an actor in vaudeville for a short time, and reporter on a small town newspaper. At the end of 1912 my health broke down and I spent six months in a tuberculosis sanatorium.

b. Oct. 16, 1888, New York, N.Y., U.S. d. Nov. 27, 1953, Boston, Mass. in full EUGENE GLADSTONE O'NEILL foremost American dramatist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936. His masterpiece, Long Day's Journey into Night (produced posthumously 1956), is at the apex of a long string of great plays, including Beyond the Horizon (1920), Anna Christie (1922), Strange Interlude (1928), Ah! Wilderness (1933), and The Iceman Cometh (1946). Early life O'Neill was born into the theatre. His father, James O'Neill, was a successful touring actor in the last quarter of the 19th century whose most famous role was that of the Count of Monte Cristo in a stage adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas père novel. His mother, Ella, accompanied her husband back and forth across the country, settling down only briefly for the birth of her first son, James, Jr., and of Eugene. Eugene, who was born in a hotel, spent his early childhood in hotel rooms, on trains, and backstage. Although he later deplored the nightmare insecurity of his early years and blamed his father for the difficult, rough-and-tumble life the family leda life that resulted in his mother's drug addictionEugene had the theatre in his blood. He was also, as a child, steeped in the peasant Irish Catholicism of his father and the more genteel, mystical piety of his mother, two influences, often in dramatic conflict, which account for the high sense of drama and the struggle with God and religion that distinguish O'Neill's plays.

Eugene O'Neill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Eugene O'Neill Eugene Gladstone O'Neill New York City October 16 November 27 in Boston ) was an American playwright . More than any other dramatist, O'Neill introduced the dramatic realism pioneered by Chekhov Ibsen , and Strindberg into American drama. Generally, his plays involve characters who inhabit the fringes of society, where they struggle to maintain their hopes and aspirations but ultimately slide into dillusionment and despair. Although O'Neill was born in New York City, his early life was intimately connected to New London, Connecticut . His father was stage actor James O'Neill , who had owned property in New London before Eugene's birth. As an adult, O'Neill was employed by the New London Telegraph , and wrote his first plays while living there. ( Connecticut College maintains an O'Neill archive and the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. Waterford fosters the development of new plays under his name.) In 1929 he moved to the Loire Valley of northwest France , where he lived in the Chateau du Plessis in St. Antoine-du-Rocher

On the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life! Eugene (Gladstone) O'Neill was born in a Broadway hotel room in New York City on October 16, 1888. O'Neill won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936, and Pulitzer Prizes for four of his plays: Beyond the Horizon (1920); Anna Christie (1922); Strange Interlude (1928); and Long Day's Journey Into Night (1957). O'Neill is credited with raising American dramatic theater from its narrow origins to an art form respected around the world. He is regarded as America's premier playwright. O'Neill's father, James O'Neill, was one of 19th Century America's most popular actors. Young Eugene spent much of his early years on national tours with his father. In 1906 he entered Princeton University but was soon expelled. In 1909 he married, had a son, and was divorced within three years. By 1912, O'Neill had worked as a gold prospector in Honduras, as a seaman, and had become a regular at New York City's flophouses and cheap saloons. That year he became ill with tuberculosis, and was inspired to become a playwright while reading during his recovery. O'Neill's career as a playwright consisted of three periods. His early
