At 10, Tatum O'Neal gave an amazing performance in Paper Moon, acting as Addie Loggins, a young girl who joins forces with a con artist. Witty and anti-conformist portrayal won her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 10, which set a record for being the youngest winner at that time. O'Neal is sharp in comic timing and in emotional depth that brought the character to life, with her debut as one of the most memorable debuts in Hollywood history.
