Ryan & Tatum O'Neal - Paper Moon Q&A - 1.16.11

Ryan & Tatum O'Neal at the Palm Springs International Film Festival screening of "Paper Moon" - January 16, 2011. The Q&A was being filmed for a documentary by OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Watching the movie, it was so obvious that they enjoyed working together. I think it was a prolonged happy moment in an otherwise rough relationship.

[@benjaminarmstrong7047]

An example of "art imitates life" is Madeline Kahn's character monologue. She tries to talk down to a child, tries to bribe a child, tries to be bossy, nothing works until she shows some respect and treats her like an equal. What a fine actress was Ms. Kahn, that 3 minutes of film is a master class. Comedy and pathos.

Paper Moon is Timeless!

[@CaptainC1967]

Not sure how it came to be that she was considered a "supporting actress" in this role when she was clearly the female lead. Fantastic performance, absolutely worthy of the Oscar that year.

[@frzstat]

I read that the Academy refused to have a 10 year old in the Best Actress category. In 1973/74 Best Actress was still "glamorous."

[@TTM9691]

Thank you for putting this up!!! It makes me so happy to see them like this. I'll say this about Ryan O'Neal: he knows how to tell a story! So does Tatum. This is in my absolute top echelon of favorite movies. The Bogdonovich audio commentary from the DVD is incredible; you know how some commentary tracks suck, and some are great? This one is incredible, he's clearly watching the movie along with you and commenting on everything, every moment, it's really worth tracking down, fans of "Paper Moon".

[@lucygirl4926]

One of my favorite movies OF.ALL.TIME. Years later when I became aware of what a crappy human being Ryan O'Neal could be at times, I realized just what great actors both of these people were!!! Sidenote: I wish the woman coughing near the front would take a f**king lozenge already -- she's getting on my last nerve.

[@TT-rz5td]

I had someone like that next to me at the Minnesota Opera. Coughed through the entire opera and the seats there are crammed in so bad.

LOVE PAPER MOON ❤

[@sunnydayzie1202]

He treated her like crap. He was totally not supportive. What she's saying is totally different from her later interviews It's a shame because it's a beautiful movie. Tatum was every bit as lonely as Addie and longed to be with her dad...

[@berniecom728]

Tatum was such a cutie in that movie, I love how she talked and act. I'm not a boy, I'm a girl! The best part was her argument in the restaurant about her two hundred dollars. I still watch it.

[@sharonanne116]

In her autobiography she said that Ryan punched her in the face when they found out she was nominated. She didnt bring that up. Paper Moon is my favorite movie of all time and the whole theme of a little girl trying to be like her dad so he will love her (and actually becoming a better con artist than him in the process) was so like their real experience that it seems ironic and heartbreaking. I love love love Tatum O'Neal. Much peace and respect to her.

[@johnnypastrana6727]

I doubt that ever happened...you reported that story incorrectly.

[@KellyGreen5555]

Too bad these two couldn't get two microphones...Jeez.

[@deedee9312]

I feel like this was so genuine and then it got difficult during their own servers and her book really messed up their relationship… they are both unique and authentic in their own right 🎉 they gave the world happiness ! 😊

[@TheClassica87]

@sharonanne116 When she talks about Madeline's character being her nemesis because she was the girlfriend and that "Addie" wanted her away from her father, I couldn't help but think of Farrah. Another scenario from the movie that seemed to play out for them in real life. Very ironic. So sad that it seems Ryan was jealous of her winning that Oscar. And she gave it to him because he needed it more. She absolutely adores him still. I hope they can work out their relationship once and for all.

[@Charlenejl]

@TheClassica87 . Me too. I noticed a lot of things that happened in the movie mirrored their relationship in real life.

[@wolfgangwoldt1941]

I think he needs to hand Oscar back !!

[@rondobson1828]

Tatum is 8 months older than me and I had such a crush on her as a kid, especially after "Bad News Bears".

[@michaelkelly3221]

They couldn't afford to give them each a microphone?

[@jscan4442]

I guess you've never been to one of these things before.

[@MuzzikLvr]

@KellyGreen5555 They did originally have their own microphones but they were feeding back.

[@Lengsel7]

Psh. Next time call me, I'll take care of that. (only 9 years later)

[@Luna_and_Miles]

I adore this film. I grew up with it and my family watched it together dozens of times. It truly is a masterwork. It's a shame that the audio for this video was such poor quality; thefeedback is painful to listen to!

[@barbarahourigan8462]

❤

[@Luna_and_Miles]

Does anyone know of a better quality of this interview? The audio on this makes it so hard to lissten to.

[@pernelldh]

Father and daughter reunited after Farrah Fawcett's death.

[@Jeremiah7-ox2nj]

The venue couldn't afford two mics?

[@williamthomas1]

Tatum seems like a very genuine women. I had a crush on her since Bad News Bears. She;s a cutie for sure.

[@TualhaCat]

Be warned, the closed captions here are COMPLETELY inaccurate. They must have been done by machine and never checked.

[@jasonjones9018]

Ryan & Tatum The Best & I'm Thinkin The Only Dad & Daughter Duo Ever In Show Business 🎥

[@weasley2o13]

Hands down not true. Not even fucking close actually.

[@r.brookswilliams7476]

Why can't there be some kind of table between them - to put their water bottles on? As it is, Tatum has to put her bottle way down on the floor, and practically get lumbago trying to retrieve it. And mike problems - only two microphones? This really seems like Amateur Hour.

[@kellycannon4187]

i, and my whole, entire, full family, all, also, truly, currently, and always, will pray, so very very very very very very hard, and earnestly, for Ryan O'Neal, and for the whole, entire, full rest, of his whole, entire, full family, to all, also, truly, and fully, now, always, and forever, have so much more healthier, stronger, and better self-esteem, and positivity, within, and about themselves.

[@MontagZoso]

Oh god, you are the same person as Private Lady. Are you some kind of O’Neal stalker on KZbin? You need help.

[@weasley2o13]

Why won't you start by praying for better fucking punctuating skills?

[@CreachterZ]

Such lies! Neither of her parties showed up when she won the award. They all hated each other.
