Ryan O'Neal in court for drug plea hearing

At 68 years old, Ryan O'Neal is playing a role better suited for someone far younger than his age. Last seen playing the star-crossed lover after the death of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Farrah Fawcett, the hot-tempered actor was in a courtroom in Malibu today, facing a judge and looking and being treated like a seedy teenager at a drug progress report hearing. O'Neal and his son Redmond were arrested and charged with felony drug possession last September after cops found methamphetamines in his home. O'Neal pleaded guilty in January and was ordered to complete a drug program. The judge today said he was doing very well, especially in light of the pressures accompanying Farrah's passing. O'Neal's (and Farrah's) son is still in jail.
