Ryan O’Neal is so estranged from his children that when he saw his daughter, Tatum, at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral, he made a pass at her without knowing who she was. “A beautiful blond woman comes up and embraces me,” O’Neal, 68, told Vanity Fair. “I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me.’” He added, “I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter—it’s so sick.”
