Tatum O’Neal Busted for Crack

Troubled Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal, who has spoken and written about her years-long battle with addiction, was busted last night just blocks from her Lower East Side luxury apartment - charged with buying cocaine and crack, sources said.

Sources told The Post the 44-year-old actress - who became the youngest-ever to snag an Oscar, at age 10, for her role in “Paper Moon” - was arrested at 7:30 p.m. by detectives from Manhattan South Narcotics on Clinton Street between East Broadway and Grand Street.

“When the police approached, she asked them, ‘You know who I am, right?’ ” one source said. “Then she said, ‘I’m researching a part - I’m doing this for a part as a junkie.’ ” “Can’t we just forget about this?” sources said she begged the detectives.
