Tatum O’Neal pleads guilty
Oscar winner Tatum O’Neal, the former child actress who chronicled her struggles with addiction in a 2004 memoir, pleaded guilty in New York on Wednesday to disorderly conduct stemming from her drug arrest in June.
O’Neal, 44, was ordered to attend two half-day drug treatment sessions and pay a $95 fee, court officials said.
O’Neal was initially charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to one year in jail, court officials said. O’Neal won a best supporting actress Oscar at age 10 for 1973’s “Paper Moon.”
