Honestly, we don't have the space to go into detail about all of the chances Lindsay Lohan blew in her relatively short career. However, Lohan once appeared to be one of the few child actors destined for adult success when she starred in the box office hits Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. But since then, her off-screen legal troubles and addictions frequently derail any chance for her to capitalize on her few critical successes, like A Prairie Home Companion. In addition, her once pretty face has been ravaged by what appears to have been botched surgery. In 2013 she starred in what was considered her comeback movie The Canyons, which was controversial for being borderline softcore pornography (which probably surprised noone.) It was beset by on-set meltdowns, rejected by film festivals, and grossed only $51,000 in its short run. In other words, don't call it a comeback.
