The 48-years-old Rebecca de Mornay was sentenced on Tuesday to
three years probation after she pleaded guilty to a 2007 DUI incident. She was
also ordered to serve a three-month rehab program and pay a fine of $350.
Rebecca De Mornay, who is probably best known for her role
in "Risky Business," was arrested for drunk-driving the night
before Halloween after she was pulled over for an unknown traffic violation.
The officers smelled alcohol in her breath and the tests registered
a blood-alcohol level of 0.09 percent, slightly above the legal 0.08 limit.
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.
Rebecca De Mornay was not in court on Tuesday to hear the sentence. A second
driving under the influence charge was dismissed, prosecutors said.
