Dee Spills the Tea:



Joanna Moore led an interesting albeit difficult life. When she was 7 her parents and younger sister were involved in a fatal car accident; her mother and sister died immediately; her father a year later. She was then adopted by a local wealthy family.

She married Ryan O’Neal in 1963 and was the mother of academy award winning actress Tatum O’Neal.

In the early 60s, she lost her hearing and had to read lips. An operation restored her hearing in 1962.

Beginning in 1970 Moore began a downward spiral. She checked into a hospital for psychiatric treatment; then she was arrested for drunk driving and lost custody of her two children. By the late 70s, she was being financially supported by Tatum. Despite treatment she continued to be addicted to drugs and alcohol and she was arrested five times for DUI during the 80s. She died of lung cancer in 1997 at the age of 63.

 

Where Do They Go From Here? 

Mr and Mrs Loomis and Kincaid goes to jail. Mr & Mrs Taylor live happily ever after.
