Tatum O’Neal Pleads Guilty to Drug Charges

Actress Tatum O’Neal, who was arrested last month for attempting to buy crack, pled guilty to disorderly conduct yesterday in New York.

The 44-year-old actress paid a $95 fee and walked out of Manhattan Criminal Court with a smile and a renewed pledge to stay away from the drugs that have plagued her career.

“I’m going back to my meetings and back to my life,” O’Neal said.

She didn’t comment on her vascillating stories about how she turned back to drugs because her dog died or alternatively because she was researching an upcoming role as an addict.

But here’s hoping her newest pledge to stay clean sticks.
