So what do you do with a troubled, reckless and apparently sick individual like Lindsay Lohan? Well, the answer seems obvious… you put in her a Charles Manson movie! The folks at Yahoo give us this:
E! News has learned exclusively that Lindsay Lohan has signed on to star as Nancy Pitman, once a loyal member of Charles Manson’s not-so-merry band, in the movie Manson Girls.
Pitman grew up in wealthy household in Malibu, and at 16 she was introduced to Manson by a friend, according to published reports. She fell under his spell, moving in with him and becoming one of his most ardent followers. She was home with Manson on the night he dispatched members of his “Family” to the former home of ex-business associate Terry Mechler, where they ended up brutally killing actress Sharon Tate and four others.
Personally I couldn’t care less if we never saw Lohan on the screen again. I’ve always found her to be a talentless flavor of the month gossip rag girl who is essentially a dime a dozen and has no place in leading roles. Am I being clear enough?
Having said that, this could be an interesting roll for Lohan. Clearly it’ll be an edgy roll… the type of roll that can make a career if handled right. Let’s say for arguments sake that the movie is a good one and Lohan actually pulls it off well. The up side to doing this movie is HUGE for her and it gives her the opportunity for people to take her seriously again.
I don’t think that’ll happen mind you… but it’s possible (however unlikely).
