(1) Her mother is the diametric opposite of what I would call a good parent.

(2) Her father was clearly violent and although he is trying to turn his life around, most recovering addicts wouldn't be on TV lecturing people on sobriety and recovery before they have worked the program much longer.

(3) Unlike Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, she is actually very talented at what she does and could have a very long and rewarding career. When Britney Spears is 50 no one will care if she comes out with a new record. When Lohan is 50, she might be handing in Streep-quality performances in worthwhile films.

I agree. She still has a respectable shot of true "stardom"

The Parent Trap, and to a lesser degree Freaky Friday are well worth the title family movie must see.

Good luck Lindsay!

The only way she will ever turn in a Streep like performance is if she can somehow convince an insurance co. to cover her, which at this time from what i’ve read is almost impossible. even if she cleans her act up by that time she may be long forgotten like many other actors from the past.
Did you see that letter from a studio head sent to her a few months back? wasn’t pretty. he stated if she did not get her ass in on time starting tomorrow he would sue her for every penny on the tens of thousands of dollars lost due to her bad behavior.
I think she’s a lost cause.

True, but Hollywood is full of ambitious young actresses who have as much talent as Lohan. You don't really hear much of them because they are not out crashing their cars drunk and snorting blow up their noses at the trendiest clubs each night.

It is easy for produces to write these problem stars off when their are better-behaved girls lining up around their block to take the places.

I predict it will be a long time (if ever) before Lohan stars in another blockbuster. She may have a comeback --Americans are forgiving people, but she'll have an uphill battle from here for it.
