## Summary

Tatum O’Neal was seen at a Los Angeles fan convention with her daughter, Emily McEnroe, and son-in-law, Tim Massarelli, ahead of her 63rd birthday on 5 November. She walked with the aid of a cane, more than six years after a near-fatal stroke.

O’Neal’s son Kevin said in a 2023 interview that the family feared she might not survive after she suffered multiple seizures and cardiac arrest and spent six weeks in a coma. The stroke followed an overdose involving morphine, opiates and pain medication; her son linked her medication misuse to chronic pain and isolation during the pandemic. O’Neal won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for *Paper Moon* in 1974, aged 10.
