Talk:Tatum O'Neal

message: No mention of Shirley Temple;
: Tatum O'Neal is the youngest to ever win a competitive Oscar, winning Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon when she was 11. Shirley Temple, however, received an honorary Oscar when she was just 6 years old.
:: Correct.  The distinction is between winning a competitive award (which O'Neal did) versus an honorary award (which Temple did).  Tatum O'Neal was age 10 (not 11), however, when she won the Oscar.  For more details, see this article: List of oldest and youngest Academy Award winners and nominees.  Thanks.   (Joseph A.

replies: text: The "distinction" is the very reason why the text is inaccurate.  If the statement were "youngest person ever to win a competitive Oscar", then the article would be correct—but that's not what it says.  Words matter.  The text should be fixed.

message: I found this profile of Tatum O'Neal in the so-called Notable Names Database which alleges that she had a relationship with Michael Jackson in the 70's. Is this true? Is there any reliable media coverage confirming this? --Lemi4 10:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The lead says that she was 10, but later in the article, it says she was 9 when she won.  Could someone please verify which of these is correct and fix the article?  Thanks. Phiwum (talk) 02:40, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: She was definitely 10 years old ... to be exact, 10 years and 148 days old.  All of the details are in this article: List of oldest and youngest Academy Award winners and nominees ... as well as on the Academy Awards web site at oscars.org.  I will correct the error in this article.  Thanks.   (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 22:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

message: From article:
O'Neal's relationship with tennis player John McEnroe began in 1984 when she moved into his Central Park West condominium in New York City.
One would hope the relationship started before she moved in with him.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8BD5:3CF0:8D2C:D35:D8D1:4030 (talk) 05:21, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

message: It's a pleasure for myself to remember this movie when I was six years old. I've enjoyed the memories of this performance for a few decades. And today I inspired my 10 and 12 year old kids to watch this with me. We loved it from beginning to end. The only problem was the popcorn I made. And at some times during the movie I needed more Kleenex... for myself, at least!
God bless and Tatum with Ryan O'Neill for this much time together for all of us to experience is a gift. I love it.
And if Ryan wants to wrestle with me I'll need a spotter! Chefboyardan (talk) 09:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
