Tatum — whose mom is Ryan’s first wife, Joanna Moore — and her father starred together in 1973’s “Paper Moon.” At just 10 years old, Tatum became the youngest-ever Oscar winner for her role, subsequently putting a rift in their father-daughter relationship. “He loved me, but then hated me because I won the Academy Award,” Tatum told the Hollywood Reporter in July. “Weird s–t happened.

It kind of went in the wrong direction to happiness.”In 2011, the duo invited cameras to watch as they tried to mend their relationship on a reality show called “Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals.” But it wasn’t until 2020 when Tatum had a near-fatal stroke from a prescription drug overdose that the pair’s work paid off.
