Before you write off "Liz and Dick" remember that LL is not the only actor in that mess.
Grant Bowler, who plays Richard Burton, has long been one of the biggest honeys in Australia. (Check out google imagines...wow!)
A seasoned pro (and all round nice bloke) who has acted in every single Aussie soap and series you could care to name and a few you can't, Grant says his 6 week experience in working with LL was an exercise in tolerance and patience.
During the short 6 week shoot, LL production was delayed twice due to LL's off screen antics.
LOCAL actor Grant Bowler has called working with Lindsay Lohan on Liz & Dick an exercise in "tolerance" and "patience".
Bowler, host of The Amazing Race Australia, plays actor Richard Burton and opposite Lohan’s Elizabeth Taylor in the new US TV movie.
Liz & Dick was plagued by delays.
The troubled Lohan was briefly hospitalised in June after crashing her black Porsche on her way to filming near Santa Monica.
Production had to be halted when she was found unconscious in her suite at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Lohan blamed exhaustion from the long hours filming Liz & Dick.
“There were exercises in patience and there were exercises in tolerance and I believe it (filming of Liz & Dick) could have been smoother at times,” Bowler told US news show Hollywood Access Live.

I think Grant deserves double the applause for still managing an excellent performance opposite this trainwreck. I note that Bowler was on the same heavy schedule as Lohan (and is 20 years older) yet still managed to turn up on time, stay conscious, not be hospitalised twice.
:cow:
PS. when she appeared on that talk show recently (where she dissed Barbara Walters) her face was incredibly puffy and bloated.
This is one of the first warning signs of alcoholism. Booze bloat settles in the face first.
This girl is in serious trouble...we have another Judy Garland on our hands.
