US actress Tatum O’Neal today pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with a cocaine possession arrest last month in Manhattan.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Elisa Koenderman ordered O’Neal to spend two half-day sessions in a drug treatment programme and pay a 95 dollar surcharge.
If O’Neal, 44, has met those conditions when she returns to court on September 4, the case will be dismissed.
O’Neal is the youngest person ever to win an Oscar. The daughter of actor Ryan O’Neal, she won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for 1973’s 'Paper Moon'.
The former child star, who has struggled with drugs for years, is the ex-wife of tennis star John McEnroe.
