In 2004, Nyman received the royal medal Litteris et Artibus, and in 2006 she was the recipient of the Eugene O'Neill Award.
Nyman died on 4 February 2011, aged 66, after a long battle with several illnesses including alcoholism, pancreatic cancer, COPD from years of heavy smoking and Guillain–Barré.
