Family background
O'Neal was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of actors Ryan O'Neal and Joanna Moore, who had appeared in various motion pictures and television shows. Her brother, Griffin, was born in 1964. In 1967, her parents divorced and her father quickly remarried. Her father's marriage to actress Leigh Taylor-Young produced Tatum's half-brother, Patrick, but the union ended in divorce in 1973. Tatum has another half-brother, Redmond, from Ryan O'Neal's relationship with actress Farrah Fawcett. O'Neal's mother died in 1997 of lung cancer at age 63, after a career in which she had appeared in such movies as Walk on the Wild Side and Follow That Dream.
Career
Child actress
In 1974, Tatum O'Neal became the youngest person ever to win a competitive Academy Award. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Golden Globe Award for New Star Of The Year - Actress for her performance in Paper Moon. O'Neal played the role of Addie Loggins, a child con artist being tutored by a Depression-era grifter played by her father, Ryan. She was 10 years old at the time she won the award.
During her childhood and teenage years, O'Neal dated Michael Jackson in 1977, but after a half year relationship, the two separated. O'Neal also starred in notable films such as The Bad News Bears (1976) with Walter Matthau, International Velvet (1978) with Christopher Plummer and Anthony Hopkins, and Little Darlings (1980) with Kristy McNichol. She also appeared in the less-successful film Nickelodeon (1976) with her father Ryan, and in Circle of Two (1980) with Richard Burton. She appeared as the title character in the Faerie Tale Theatre episode Goldilocks and the Three Bears (1984).
Adult career
O'Neal's acting career took a backseat during her marriage to John McEnroe. Their relationship began in 1984 when she moved into his Central Park West condo in New York City.[1] She would appear in only five films during the next 15 years. One notable role was her portrayal of Cynthia Kruger in Basquiat (1996).
In the early 2000s, O'Neal began acting again and made guest appearances on Sex and the City, 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. In 2005, O'Neal began a recurring role as Maggie Gavin on the firehouse drama series Rescue Me, portraying the unbalanced and lively sister of Tommy Gavin, played by Denis Leary.
In January 2006, she participated in the second season of ABC's reality series Dancing with the Stars but was eliminated in the second round. She went on to do commentary for the series on Entertainment Tonight.
From 2006 to 2007, she portrayed the vindictive and psychotic Blythe Hunter in the My Network TV drama Wicked Wicked Games. She appears opposite Nashawn Kearse and Vanessa L. Williams in the film My Brother (2007).
In 2011, Tatum and her father, Ryan began to restore their broken father/daughter relationship after 25 years. Their reunion and reconciliation process was captured in the Oprah Winfrey Network series, Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals.[2]
Personal life
Family and relationships
One of O'Neal's first public boyfriends was pop star Michael Jackson, whom she dated in the late 1970s to early '80s. In 1986, O'Neal married tennis player John McEnroe. She invited no one from her family to attend the ceremony. The couple have three children: Kevin (born 1986), Sean (born 1987) and Emily (born 1991). They separated in December 1992 and were divorced in 1994. Following the divorce, O'Neal's drug problems reemerged and she developed an addiction to heroin. As a result of her drug problems, McEnroe obtained custody of the children in 1998.[3]
O'Neal has been estranged from her father for over 25 years.[4] A reconciliation process was begun in 2011 in the television series, Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals. [5]
Arrest
On June 1, 2008, she was arrested for buying crack cocaine near her Manhattan apartment building.[6] When police searched her, they found two bags of drugs — one of crack cocaine, one of powder cocaine — and an unused crack pipe.[6] She was charged with a misdemeanor criminal possession of a controlled substance. Authorities released her without bail.[6] On July 2, 2008, O'Neal pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with the arrest and agreed to spend two half-day sessions in a drug treatment program.[7]
Autobiography claims
In her autobiography, A Paper Life, O'Neal alleged that she had been molested by a male friend of her father. She also alleges physical and emotional abuse from her father, much of which she attributed to drug use. She also detailed her own heroin addiction and its effects on her relationship with her children. Her father, Ryan, denied these allegations.[8] In a prepared statement, Ryan O'Neal said: "It is a sad day when malicious lies are told in order to become a 'best-seller'."[8]
In her autobiographly, O'Neal claims that when she was 12 and her friend Melanie Griffith was 18, her father, Ryan O'Neal, took the girls on a trip to Europe, where she caught him having sex with Griffith in their hotel room.[3] O'Neal also alleged that she and Griffith participated in an opium-filled orgy in a Paris hotel room.[9][10]
In 2011, O'Neal wrote a new collections of memoirs titled Found: A Daughter's Journey Home, which dealt with her tempestuous relationship with her father, tempestuous marriage to John McEnroe, and her recent drug arrest.[11]
