10 Misguided Career Moves Made By Talented Actors

2. Lindsay Lohan's Legal & Personal Woes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCIwVhPscrU Lindsay Lohan is another victim of ruthless self-sabotage; she started out as the cute kid in the remake of The Parent Trap, and then became an appealing leading lady by starring in Mean Girls. However, she soon enough got wrapped up in the Hollywood party scene, and the effects of excessive booze and drug binges began to take their toll. Lohan has constantly been in trouble with the law and frequently graces the cover of tabloid magazines as a result. She has starred in a number of execrable films over the last few years, the most recent of which was the TV movie Liz and Dick, an attempt for Lohan to be taken seriously again by portraying Elizabeth Taylor. It's a performance impossible to take seriously, and no doubt the critical panning it received will only help her star fade into insigificance. Shame - had she tried to hone her craft a little, she might have actually been a bonafide movie star in the making rather than a washed up "It Girl".
