Tatum O'Neal became the youngest-ever Oscar winner when she won for her role in Paper Moon at 10 years of age. Unfortunately, early fame was quickly derailed by drug addiction and tumultuous relationships. Her problems with addiction formed a major hindrance to her career, resulting in a rapid decline in her roles. Her personal life, including her complicated relationship with her father, actor Ryan O'Neal, only worsened the chance of career rejuvenation.
