Ryan O’Neal thought that working on a movie together would make him and his daughter closer as she was estranged by her mother Joanna Moore. The movie was a success and Tatum won an Oscar for best supporting actress at the age of 10. However, it doesn’t seem that Tatum felt the love that was also the point of being in the movie. In her memoirs, Tatum wrote that she could see resentment in her father’s eyes because she won an Academy award and he didn’t. She felt more sad than happy after the ceremony, because she didn’t feel the support she hoped she would get from the people that really mattered to her.
