LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Ryan O'Neal's estranged relationship with daughter Tatum O'Neal appears to have reached an almost unbelievable point.

In Vanity Fair's September issue, Ryan admits to mistakenly hitting on his daughter, Tatum, following Farrah Fawcett's funeral in June.

"I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me," Ryan told the mag. "I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me--Tatum!'"

Ryan later admitted the incident was very disturbing.

"I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter," he continued. "It's so sick."

Tatum agreed with her father that the interaction was unsettling, but said she wasn't surprised that he mistook her for someone else.

"That's our relationship in a nutshell," Tatum said when asked about the incident. "You make of it what you will. It had been a few years since we'd seen each other, and he was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant."

    I truely believe that Tatum will be ok. It is not her fault that her father was detatched and emotionally demented. Tatum is a strong woman and I am sure that she realizes where that came from............

    jeez, to hit on ANYONE at a funeral is inappropriate enough, but to hit on your own daughter?? even if you haven't seen them for "a few years" you should be able to recognize your own child. daaaamn...

    This shows that he is a horrible father who is so in to himself that he got upset that Tatum won the Oscar and he did not. Maybe she is better then the father who could careless about his kids and at least Tatum's Mom. Look at Tatum's brother and the awful way he is conducting his life. He had to learn it from dear old dad.

    THAT IS TRULY SAD!!! No wonder Tatum has always been screwed up! I am watching all of the old soap Peyton Place and you see how great of an actor he was and you know Tatum too. But, everything in their life is so messed up!
