Lindsay Lohan Gets Props from “Canyons” Director
She has a pretty rough reputation in Tinseltown, however Lindsay Lohan made a positive impression on director Paul Schrader.
While working on “The Canyons,” the “Mean Girls” starlet displayed some serious star quality that couldn’t be ignored.
Schrader told press, "Tardiness, unpredictability, tantrums, absences, neediness, psychodrama—yes, all that, but something more, that thing that keeps you watching someone on screen, that thing you can't take your eyes off of, that magic, that mystery.”
He added, "[Marilyn] Monroe and Lohan exist in the space between actors and celebrities, people whose professional and personal performances are more or less indistinguishable. Entertainers understand the distinction. To be successful, a performer controls the balance between the professional and personal, that is, he or she makes it seem like the professional is personal. It is the lack of this control that gives performers like Monroe and Lohan (and others) their unique attraction...We call them 'troubled,' 'tormented,' 'train wrecks'—but we can't turn away."
