Rebecca De Mornay, who is probably best known for her role in "Risky Business," was arrested for drunk-driving a week ago.

According to the Beverly Hills Police who confirmed the news on Tuesday, the 48-year-old actress, who was driving alone, was taken into custody the night before Halloween after she was pulled over for an unknown traffic violation, E!Online reported.

The officers "immediately detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage," Beverly Hills Police Department spokesman Lieutenant Tony Lee said, and administered a series of field sobriety tests.

"She was very cooperative during the arrest,'' Lee was quoted by People magazine as saying.

De Mornay, whose blood-alcohol level registered at 0.09 percent, slightly above the legal 0.08 limit, was later booked for DUI and released at around 1 a.m. after posting $5,000 bail. Her court date is pending.

Since she made a name for herself more than twenty years ago in "Risky Business" playing alongside Tom Cruise, De Mornay appeared in films such as "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," "Backdraft," "Lords of Dogtown" and "Wedding Crashers." Most recently she made an appearance in HBO’s short-lived "John from Cincinnati.”

She can next be seen in Bruce Sweeney’s "American Venus," where De Mornay plays a deeply disturbed mother, who can’t let go of her daughter who’s pursuing her dream of becoming an Olympic athlete.

"There were a lot of quite legendary, notoriously bad stories about Rebecca floating around, just stuff about her being a real pill on the set and holding things up and prima donna antics, et cetera," Sweeney said in an interview.

"But she's got two kids of her own, four and eight, and she's been in Mom-land the last 10 years and so she really wanted this. It was a big, meaty role and she's in every scene. You have to have a hook when you sell a movie, and my hook was: 'This is your movie. It's all you."'
