 Eugene Gladstone O'Neill
O'Neill's first efforts were awkward melodramas, but they were about people and subjects--prostitutes, derelicts, lonely sailors, God's injustice to man--that had, up to that time, been in the province of serious novels and were not considered fit subjects for presentation on the American stage.
O'Neill's serious, almost solemn treatment of the struggle of a poor Swedish-American girl to live down her early, enforced life of prostitution and to find happiness with a likable but unimaginative young sailor is his least-complicated tragedy.
O'Neill's tragic view of life was perpetuated in his relationships with the three women he married--two of whom he divorced--and with his three children.

O’Neill rarely left the grounds of Tao House and, in fact, often spent long stretches of time sequestered in his private study, a wood-paneled room furnished with two desks and shelves of his most treasured books.
O’Neill finished the final draft of A Long Day’s Journey Into Night in the spring of 1941 and dedicated the play to Carlotta in honor of their twelfth anniversary.
O’Neill did not attend the funeral and, subsequently, he and Carlotta entered a period of marital conflict that involved counter-accusations of insanity and physical abuse fueled by excessive drinking and depression.

 O'Neill, a CurtainUp review
Since O'Neill is more interesting than a relatively unknown playwright, you can't blame her for deciding to explore the boundaries between autobiography, fiction and reality through O'Neill.
And so her play has O'Neill time travel between two worlds: The first, his current life in California with his controlling wife Carlotta, plus his visiting children by his ex-wife to whom he's not been much of a father.
In the same way, O'Neill's references to Charlie Chaplin and Oona's expressed dreams about marrying an older man from the film world will have little meaning to anyone unaware that Oona O'Neill married a middle-aged Charles Chaplin when she was twenty.
