Known for her roles in "Risky Business" (as Lana) and "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" (as Mrs. Mott/Peyton Flanders), Rebecca De Mornay was arrested for DUI on 10-30-07. Her blood alcohol level was reported to be 0.09%, over the legal limit which is 0.08%. Lt. Tony Lee, a police spokesman, told people magazine, "She was very cooperative during the arrest."

So how does this celebrity drunk driving arrest rank up to others in the past?

Considering Rebecca De Mornay isn't exactly a tip of the tongue celebrity and the only juice in this story is her blood alcohol level being over the legal limit, I'd have to say this arrest isn't a contender let alone deserve a ranking..

Lets take a look at the top 5 most memorable Celebrity DUI arrests. This list was made considering:

Star power

Behavior

Punishment

Memories

Paris Hilton
Pent house to big house.

She was cooperative and only blew a 0.08 but the idea of a wealthy heiress in jail puts her in the top 5.

Nick Nolte
The picture says it all.

Officers pulled over Nolte after observing his Mercedes-Benz swerving across lanes and into oncoming traffic. He was charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and one count of being under the influence of a controlled substance known as gamma-hydroxybutyrate or GHB, the so-called date-rape drug.

Kiefer Sutherland
Big name, the possibility of serving big time, sprinkle in some irony and you have the number 3 spot on my top 5 celebrity DUI arrests.
Violating a prior 5 year DUI probation coming from a 2004 plea of no contest can give the star of "24" up to 18 months. To top it off Mr. Sutherland was hired by Ford Motor Company in Canada to be the current voice of their commercials. Obviously Ford will have to think this one over.
