After pleading no contest to a single count of driving while intoxicated, Rebecca DeMornay has to serve in a three-month program for DUI offenders. She also has been put on probation for three years and been fined a small amount.
DeMornay, 48, who starred in “Risky Business” (1983) with Tom Cruise, “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” (1992) and “Backdraft” (1991) among others, was arrested October 30 after being pulled over on Sunset Blvd. Police say her blood alcohol level was slightly over the legal limit of .08.
