There was no Saving Grace for Tatum O'Neal over the weekend. AOL reports that the actress (who won an Oscar many moons ago, at the age of 10, for her supporting role in Paper Moon) was arrested yesterday for buying crack cocaine in the Big Apple. Just four years after the actress wrote a memoir about her struggles to get sober, she was arrested on the Lower East Side after she was seen buying the drugs from a dealer. She is being charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, which is a misdemeanor. O' Neal apparently claimed she was "doing research" for an upcoming role as a junkie. Um, sure you were.

According to IMDb, she's currently filming a television movie called Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal, but she's also wrapped the Connie Stevens-helmed flick, Saving Grace, which I told you about last year. The latter might prove to be eerie in light of the actress' personal struggles. She plays a sister in 1950s Missouri who leaves a local asylum to live with her brother and his wife. The movie should be released some time this year, although no specific date has been released yet.

With all the news bits about Cynthia Nixon successfully battling cancer a few years ago, and the fact that the movie version of Sex and the City will hit theaters soon, I can't help but think of the actress' first movie role -- playing Sunshine in Little Darlings.

Being a kid of the Poison Ivy camp movie generation, I didn't hear about Little Darlings until about 2001, when an old roommate of mine was shocked at the discovery that I hadn't seen it. In no time, we were slumped in front of the television watching Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol fight to lose their virginity while at camp -- it was slightly more risque than my fave camp movie, which had entrepreneurial campers, color wars, and swimming drama. In Darlings, Nixon played a tow-headed flower child, and the clip above is one of my favorites, where she skillfully stops violence with vitamins.

For an added treat -- doesn't the guy that Kristy McNichol kicks in this clip remind you of McLovin?
