Tatum O’Neal gives Academy Award-winning performance as a druggie

Actress Tatum O’Neal, 44, shown here being hauled away in back of police cruiser, was arrested on drug charges in New York City. She told Police officers she was buying crack cocaine to research a role as a junkie. When asked for what role she quickly said, “Paper Moon.” They then asked, “Wasn’t that the movie you were in as a kid some 34 years ago?” She clarified, “Did I say ‘Paper Moon’? Sorry, I must have been high. I meant ‘Rescue Me.’ One officer responded, “If you insist”, and with that, slapped on the cuffs.
