Tatum O'Neal pleads guilty to disorderly conduct

NEW YORK — Tatum O'Neal has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with her June cocaine possession arrest in lower Manhattan.



Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Elisa Koenderman has ordered the 44-year-old actress to spend two half-day sessions in a drug-treatment program and pay a $95 surcharge.



If O'Neal has met those conditions when she returns to court on Sept. 4, the case will be dismissed.



O'Neal won a best supporting actress Oscar at age 10 for 1973's "Paper Moon," becoming the youngest person ever to win an Academy Award.



The daughter of Ryan O'Neal, she has publicly chronicled her struggles with drugs over the years.
