Her letter about the death of Robert Altman was almost uncomfortable to read and I feel badly that she has been raked over the coals about it. From what I understand, she was very close with Altman, who took Lindsey under his wing and acted as a father figure toward her. It is clear this troubled young woman is in desperate need of a role model - an adult who truly cares about her well-being and who is not afraid to tell her she is headed down a very dangerous path. If Altman served that role for Lohan, his death must have been very devastating to her. Unfortunately, I think she will need to hit rock bottom before she realizes just how much harm she is doing to herself and her career. I hope she can pull it together and stop hanging around with people who are such bad influences on her. While she has been in a bunch of movies recently, she has not had a box office hit since Mean Girls. Sooner or later the offers of roles are going to diminish, as who wants to hire someone who is known as a professional liability. We all know the bottom line in Hollywood is money. They aren't going to keep paying her so much if she isn't bringing in a return.
That said, I think she is a very talented actress and could go really far in her career if she cared about herself more.
