One of the best known cases is that of Tatum O'Neal The youngest actress among the winners of an Oscar, was made of the statuette at age ten for "Paper Moon" in 1973.

From then on, her life became an accumulation of excesses, as she describes in her autobiographical best-seller, "Vida de papel", where she narrates how her father introduced her to drugs and sex.
