Submitted by Meg Wilson on June 2, 2008 - 10:29.

Tatum O'Neil, age 44, has just been arrested for buying drugs from a drug dealer a few blocks from her apartment in Manhattan.

It was only four years ago that she wrote a book A Paper Lifeabout her struggle with drugs since her teen years. She first started with drugs that she hoped would help keep her slim when she was about 14 years old. But after going to many treatment centers it seemed she had overcome her addictions. However, now having been caught buying crack and cocaine, it looks like the worst is not over for her yet.

Tatum was the youngest actress ever to win an Oscar at the age of ten.
