Previously, he was quoted saying: "We've worked on this movie, rehearsed it, read it and she is great. I think she is as good as anyone in her age group. I hope this will turn the story for her a little bit and remind people that this is someone who is serious about acting and who is really different from the cartoon portrayed in the tabloid press."

And aren't we all waiting to see just how serious Lindsay is about acting?

If she fails at this pic, if she fails to win us back, it won't be long before we tire of her antics and her image fades from the magazines and our minds.

And it won't be all her fault either. Lilo is the “poster child” of what happens to you in Hollywood if your family sucks and you're not strong enough to avoid the temptations. Her face should be posted at Hollywood talent agencies as a warning for aspiring actresses in search of fame.

Maybe that is the “legacy” Lindsay leaves behind. If she never succeeds in another film, she can be proud that her very bad experiences makes her a role model for “what not to do” to millions of girls.
