Sounds like Grease for mine, where the icon was not Travolta or Newton-John or Tony or Sandy or Rizzo, it was the whole package.
She may get help & get past it. I’d like to think that anyone with that addiction would have at least one chance to wipe the bloody coke-clay leavings off their mirror, realize they don’t like what they see, and have a fair shot at changing their life for the better. You may be right though; she could find her future is out of the business and in an office somewhere living a far less expensive lifestyle.
Its not anything I get a vote on, but between the choices of her living out a long full-yet-humble life vs dead at 30 on a grimy bathroom floor, I’d always wish her the former (and I’d never wish her the latter).
Paul Erdős seemed to do pretty good on amphetamines, so throw math out there as a profession where drug use may help you.
Ugh, I saw that.
Oh, Lindsay, why? Why must you undermine my messageboard postings in vague support of you?
I wonder what her response will be. “It was lemon lime and bitters!”
Yes, but she needs to be willing to change and sooner rather than later. She isn’t a kid anymore.
The big difference with some other stars like Downey Jr. is that even completely f*cked up, he still showed up to work. I never once saw David Carradine sober, but they managed to work around him (even thought the delays were pretty bad and a lot of people on the crew wanted to punch him.)
But Lohan doesn’t even show up. For her last principal role, Lohan had to have a body double fill in for her and then have her face CGI’d onto the double to finish the movie. She just didn’t show up, without warning, and no one had any idea where she was.
…and it looks like she’s back in jail.
She’s back in custody with no bail (which according to that article is out of the ordinary considering her charges) and could be there until the end of October.
True, which also means her body has stopped healing kid-fast after recreational abuse.
In a very ghoulish way, she’s probably a lot closer to to being that dead meat on the floor next to a urine stained comode than probably even she knows.
Still, deep inside of her, she must want to live. For her sake, I can only hope that part of herself reveals itself too her before she [del]accidently[/del]* kills herself.
*when you ingest it yourself that many times, its no accident.
Just thought of a non-entertainment job where past drug issues are a career positive: rehab counselor (and various related types of jobs). Current drug issues are probably a big career negative, though.
