Her performance may have gotten panned, but La Lindsay sure did bring in the viewers.
An average of 3.5 million people tuned in to see if Lindsay Lohan could do a convincing Ellizabeth Taylor but unfortunately the reviews were horrible. Things like “she doesn’t even sound like Taylor”, and she did no prep work” were said.
Even her co-star Grant Bowler as Richard Burton who was probably excited and counting on this role to take him to higher grounds, couldn’t resist telling people that during filming Lindsay was barely around except for when she was filming and even then was late a lot, and she never even took time to rehearse and read lines with him.
I guess Lindsay thought she could wing her performance being she has always been known as a “talent” in Hollywood but rehab and jail stints will crush that dream any day.
Now word on the street is that Lindsay owes a few hundred thousand in back taxes and even got a loaner for $100,000 from the ultimate survivor Charlie Sheen.
Everyone was pulling for the child star to bring it. Even legendary Patty Duke, the first child star at age 16 to win an Academy Award for best supporting actress for ‘The Miracle Worker’ told me awhile back that she feels for troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan. “I feel a real come back for her.”
I guess this is not it.
Win win for Lifetime, lose lose for Lindsay.
