Charles Patrick Ryan O'Neal (April 20, 1941 – December 8, 2023) was an American actor. Born in Los Angeles, he trained as an amateur boxer before beginning a career in acting in 1960.
In 1964, he landed the role of Rodney Harrington on the ABC nighttime soap opera Peyton Place.[1] It was an instant hit and boosted O'Neal's career. He later found success in films, most notably in the romantic drama Love Story (1970), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor[1] and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama;[2] Peter Bogdanovich's What's Up, Doc? (1972); Paper Moon (1973), which earned him a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy; Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon (1975), in which he portrayed the titular character; Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far (1977); and Walter Hill's The Driver (1978).
In 1989 he starred in "Chances Are" opposite Cybil Shepard and Robert Downey Jr.
From 2005 to 2017, he had a recurring role in the Fox television series Bones as Max, the father of the show's eponymous protagonist.
Early life and education
O'Neal was born in Los Angeles, on April 20, 1941, the eldest son of actress Patricia (née O'Callaghan) and novelist and screenwriter Charles O'Neal.[3][4][5][6][a] His father was of Irish and English descent, while his mother was of paternal Irish and maternal Jewish ancestry.[8][9] His brother, Kevin, was an actor and screenwriter.[7]
O'Neal attended University High School in Los Angeles, and trained there to become a Golden Gloves boxer. During the late 1950s, his father had a job writing on a television series called Citizen Soldier, and moved the family to Munich, where O'Neal attended Munich American High School.[10]
Career
1960–1969: Television roles
In Germany, O'Neal was struggling at school, so his mother pulled some favors and got him a job as a stand-in on a show being shot in the area,
In 1964 he was cast as Rodney Harrington in the prime time serial drama Peyton Place. O'Neal said he got the role because "the studio was looking for a young Doug McClure".[16] The series was a big success, making national names of its cast including O'Neal. Several were offered movie roles, including Mia Farrow, Rosemary's Baby (1968), and Barbara Parkins, Valley of the Dolls (1967), and O'Neal was keen to do films.[17] During the series' run O'Neal appeared in a pilot for a proposed series, European Eye (1968).[18] He was also signed to ABC for a recording contract.[19] O'Neal's first lead in a feature came with The Big Bounce (1969),[20] based on an Elmore Leonard novel.[21] In 1969, he appeared in a TV version of Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963).[22]
1970–1980: Film stardom
In 1970, O'Neal played an Olympic athlete in The Games. The film had been co-written by Erich Segal, who recommended O'Neal for the lead in the romantic drama Love Story (1970), based on Segal's novel and script. A number of actors had turned down the role including Beau Bridges and Jon Voight before it was offered to O'Neal. His fee was $25,000; he said he had an offer that paid five times as much to appear in a Jerry Lewis film, but O'Neal knew that Love Story was the better prospect and selected that instead.[23] Paramount Pictures studio head, Robert Evans, who was married to the film's female lead, Ali MacGraw, said they tested 14 other actors but no one compared to O'Neal; he said the part was "a Cary Grant role – a handsome leading man with lots of emotion."[24] "I hope the young people like it", O'Neal said before the film came out. "I don't want to go back to TV. I don't want to go back to those NAB conventions."[23] Love Story turned out to be a box office phenomenon, making O'Neal a star and earning him nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama, although O'Neal was bitter that he was never given a percentage of the profits, unlike co-star Ali MacGraw.[25][26]
In between the film's production and release, O'Neal appeared in a TV movie written by
Director
O'Neal spent over a year making
O'Neal had been originally meant to star in Bogdanovich's flop musical
O'Neal initially turned down a reported $3 million to star in
"What I have to do now, seriously, is win a few hearts as an actor," he said in 1978. "The way Cary Grant did. I know I've got a lot of winning to do. But I'm young enough. I'll get there..."[26] Around this time, O'Neal was meant to star in The Bodyguard, from a Lawrence Kasdan script, opposite Diana Ross for director John Boorman. However the film fell over when Ross pulled out, and it would not be made until 1992, with Kevin Costner in O'Neal's old role.[36] There was some talk he would appear in a film from Michelangelo Antonioni, Suffer or Die,[37] but this did not happen.
O'Neal instead played a boxer in a comedy, The Main Event, reuniting him with Streisand. He received a fee of $1 million plus a percentage of the profits. The Main Event was a sizeable hit at the box office. Also in 1979, he produced a documentary, The Contender, about a boxer he managed.[38]
A 1980 profile of O'Neal described him:
Unlike most stars of the post-Hoffman era he is very handsome, especially when moustached: he has blond curly hair and a toothpaste smile: he seems to lead an interesting life. What is on screen is, er, less interesting, but still agreeable. Maybe he would really come on if he had the apprenticeship of the stars of the 30s: for he is, to underline the point, a throwback to that era. There are no nervous tics, solemnity is at bag; his is an easy, genial presence, and thank heaven for it![39]
1981–1987: Career fluctuations
O'Neal was looking next to act in the lead role in the film version of The Thorn Birds to be directed by Arthur Hiller, but the book ended up being adapted as a miniseries.[40] Instead O'Neal made a British-financed thriller, Green Ice (1981), for the most money he had ever received up front.[25] The movie had a troublesome production (the original director quit during filming) and flopped at the box office. He had a cameo in Circle of Two, a film his daughter made with Richard Burton. O'Neal said Burton told him during filming he was "five years away from winning acceptance as a serious actor" ... [and that] .. "On the other hand, my agent, Sue Mengers says I'm right on the threshold. Split the difference, that's two and a half years. One good picture, that's all I need..."[41]
However, in the early 1980s he focused on comedies. He received $2 million for the lead in So Fine.[42] This was followed by Partners (1982), a farce written by Francis Veber in which O'Neal played a straight cop who goes undercover as one half of a gay couple. He then played a film director loosely based on Peter Bogdanovich in Irreconcilable Differences (1984); he received no upfront fee but got a percentage of the profits.[43] It was a minor box office success. A 1984 profile called him "the Billy Martin of Hollywood, whether it's his love affair with Farrah Fawcett... his precocious actor daughter Tatum or fisticuffs with his son Griffin. He just can't seem to stay out of the news." O'Neal said he felt more like Rocky Marciano, "wondering why guys are always picking fights with me. If I'm in a good picture, they'll like me. If I'm not they'll hate me. Hey I'm mad too when I don't make good pictures."[44]
O'Neal said too many of the roles he had played were "off the beaten path for me".
1988–2017: Later roles
O'Neal had a supporting part in a Liza Minnelli TV special Sam Found Out: A Triple Play (1988), and also supported in the romantic comedy Chances Are (1989). He returned to TV opposite his then-partner Farrah Fawcett in Small Sacrifices (1989). He and Fawcett made a short-lived CBS series, Good Sports (1991), which lasted 15 episodes.[3] O'Neal co starred with Katharine Hepburn in the TV movie The Man Upstairs (1992) and had a cameo in Fawcett's Man of the House (1995). He had a good role in Faithful (1996) with Cher. It was directed by Paul Mazursky who later said of O'Neal:
He's sweet as sugar, and he's volatile. He's got some of that Irish stuff in him, and he can blow up a bit. One day he was doing a scene, and I said, "Bring it down a little bit," and Ryan said, "I quit! You can't say 'Bring it down' to me that loud!" I said, "If you quit, I'm going to break your nose." He started to cry. He's sort of a big baby at times, but he's a good guy, and he's very talented. He's had a strange career, but he was a monster star.[32]
O'Neal had a supporting role in
O'Neal was a recurring character on Fox's Bones from seasons 2 to 12, with his final episode airing in February 2017.[48] In 2011, Ryan and Tatum attempted to restore their broken father/daughter relationship after 25 years. Their reunion and reconciliation process was captured in the Oprah Winfrey Network series Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals, which O'Neal produced. It ran only nine episodes, and he later said that it left their relationship in a worse state than before.[1] O'Neal could be seen in Slumber Party Slaughter (2012) and Knight of Cups (2015) in a small role.[4][49]
In 2016, O'Neal reunited with Love Story co-star Ali MacGraw in a staging of A. R. Gurney's play Love Letters.[50] In February 2021, O'Neal and MacGraw were honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, nearly 50 years after the release of Love Story.[51]
Personal life
Relationships
O'Neal married his first wife, actress
His second marriage was to actress and his Peyton Place co-star Leigh Taylor-Young, with whom he had a son. They remained friends after divorcing in 1973.[32][52] "I could speak to parts of Ryan like temper and volatility and reactivity, but I deeply know his goodness", Taylor-Young said.[32][52]
O'Neal was in a relationship with actress Farrah Fawcett from 1979 to 1997. The relationship was tumultuous due to his infidelity and volatile behavior. O'Neal and Fawcett reunited in 2001 and were together until her death in 2009.[32]
"I got married at 21, and I was not a real mature 21," said O'Neal. "My first child was born when I was 22. I was a man's man; I didn't discover women until I was married, and then it was too late."[32] He had romances with Ursula Andress, Bianca Jagger, Anouk Aimée, Jacqueline Bisset, Barbra Streisand, Joan Collins, Diana Ross, and Anjelica Huston.[53] According to his daughter Tatum O'Neal, he also had an affair with Melanie Griffith.[54] In her 2014 memoir, Anjelica Huston claimed that O'Neal physically abused her.[55]
Children
O'Neal had four children: Tatum O'Neal and Griffin O'Neal with Moore,[32] Patrick O'Neal with Taylor-Young,[32] and Redmond James Fawcett O'Neal with Fawcett.[56]
For several years, O'Neal was estranged from his three elder children. "I'm a hopeless father. I don't know why. I don't think I was supposed to be a father. Just look around at my work—they're either in jail or they should be," he told
In 2007, O'Neal was arrested for shooting at Griffin, which he claimed was in self-defense; the charges were dropped.[57] O'Neal refused to allow Griffin to attend Fawcett's funeral in 2009.[58] He infamously hit on Tatum at Fawcett's funeral, not recognizing her as his daughter.[59][60]
In 2011, Tatum published a book with her father and appeared with him on the TV show Ryan and Tatum: the O'Neals. In August of that year, O'Neal, Tatum, and Patrick attended Redmond's court appearance on firearms and drug charges.[61]
Redmond has struggled with drug addiction for most of his adult life. In 2008, O'Neal and Redmond were arrested for drug possession in their Malibu home.[62] In 2015, Redmond's probation was revoked and he was sentenced to three years in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.[63] In 2018, Redmond was arrested and charged with attempted murder, robbery, assault and drug possession after he allegedly tried to rob a convenience store in Santa Monica. In an interview from jail he blamed his struggles on his parents.[63]
Health and death
In 2001, O'Neal was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).[64] After struggling with leukemia, O'Neal was frequently seen at Fawcett's side when she was battling cancer. He told People magazine, "It's a love story. I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy."[65] In April 2012, O'Neal stated he had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.[66] He later stated it was stage 2.[67]
