|
NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say Academy Award-winning actress Tatum O'Neal has been arrested after buying crack cocaine near her home in Manhattan.
 Police say the 44-year-old actress was seen making the illicit purchase at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday. She is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.
O'Neal, daughter of actor Ryan O'Neal, appears regularly on the cable television series ``Rescue Me'' and was the youngest person to win an Oscar for her role in 1973's ``Paper Moon.''
She chronicled her struggles with addiction in her memoir, ``A Paper Life.''
Police could not say whether she had an attorney. Messages left for a publicist were not returned early Monday.
