Liz McNeil from People Magazine sat down with tatum and got the exclusive 

From People Magazine:
A little over three years ago, Tatum O'Neal overdosed so severely that she had a near fatal stroke and fell into a six-week coma. 

At times, she wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to speak again. “I woke up from a coma, without any words,” says the 59-year-old actress.

She tells the story of her remarkable — and ongoing — path to recovery in this week’s PEOPLE.  “I was in a coma and nobody could figure out if I was going to die or if I was going to live,” says O’Neal. “And I lived.”
