Actor Ryan O'Neal on Friday pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine drugs and was sentenced to 18 months of drug counselling, dpa reported.
O'Neal entered the plea in a Malibu courtroom in a case that stemmed from his arrest last September, for felony drug possession, together with his son Redmond, 23.
The case against the Hollywood legend and star of the film Love Story will be dropped if he successfully completes the drug programme, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office said.
