Lindsay Lohan walks away from Manson movie
Fri May 9, 2008 8:28pm EDT
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lindsay Lohan passed up a role in a movie
about convicted killer Charles Manson in order to accept two other
offers, including a guest star turn on the TV comedy "Ugly Betty," her
publicist said on Friday.
Lohan's spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane, said the 21-year-old actress was
"definitely interested" in "The Manson Girls," but she denied online
gossip reports that Lohan was dropped from that film because other
actors refused to work with her.
"Unfortunately (the Manson movie) didn't come together quickly enough,
and she was offered other roles, which she accepted and is looking
forward to doing," Sloane told Reuters.
The ABC television network announced on Monday that Lohan, who is
seeking to rebuild her career after a year of personal upheaval, has
signed a deal to guest star in six upcoming episodes of the popular
workplace comedy "Ugly Betty," starting this month.
Sloane said Lohan also has been cast to star in the forthcoming film
comedy "Labor Pains," produced by Rick Schwartz, whose credits include
the Martin Scorsese films "The Departed," "The Aviator" and "Gangs of
New York."
As described in the New York Post, Lohan will play a young woman who
pretends to be pregnant to avoid being fired.
For "The Manson Girls," Lohan had reportedly been attached to play a
Manson "family" cult member named Nancy Pitman.
But a source with knowledge of the project said producers failed to
put money into escrow in time to hold Lohan's availability, leaving
her free to take other work.
Manson, now 73, was convicted of masterminding the grisly 1969
killings of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate -- the pregnant wife of film
director Roman Polanski -- and six other people during a two-day
rampage in the Los Angeles area.
Originally sentenced to death for ordering his followers to carry out
the mass killings, he is now serving a life sentence at the Corcoran
State Prison in California.
Lohan has not starred in a feature film since last year's flop "I Know
Who Killed Me."
She spent much of 2007 out of the public spotlight after she was
arrested twice in one month for drunken driving and re-entered rehab
in a relapse of substance abuse that cost her a role in a film
produced by and starring Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine.
The year before, a studio executive publicly rebuked Lohan for
repeatedly showing up late on the set of "Georgia Rule," which he
blamed on her late-night clubbing habits.

Actually, I heard she was let go because no other "big name" actors
would star alongside her, given her reputation; that, plus the rumours
of her hitting the bottle again. That sounds a little more plausible
IMHO.

I doubt that is true. They're smart enough to know that, when work is
hard to find, you can never turn down a job for any reason within your
control.

She's had a lot more than a year of personal upheaval.

Why can't she take more than one role at a time? Plenty of actors work
on more than one job at once.

Her next will be a flop, too. :(
