Lindsay Lohan started her career as one of the world’s most popular child stars. Her career took a turn for the worse in her late teens after she had acted in a succession of popular movies and established herself as a teen idol.
Lindsay was suddenly making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the press was more interested in her partying antics than her work—just one of the many challenges Lindsay and her family had to face in return for global celebrity.
She also developed a reputation for being tough to deal with on set around this period. Lindsay was late to the set of Georgia Rule, with Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman, according to many reports in 2006 and 2007.
As a result, Lindsay developed a poor public image that lasted more than a decade.
On the set of ‘Georgia Rule,’ Lindsay Lohan developed a reputation as a party girl.
Lindsay Lohan’s behavior on the set of Georgia Rule was reportedly so bad that producer James G. Robinson reportedly issued her a letter reprimanding her, calling her “irresponsible and unprofessional.”
She missed a day of work without telling anybody and you can have a whole crew and cast standing around—plus the cost of half a million dollars a day lost,” he spoke to CBS.
Jane Fonda also confessed to David Letterman that she had to confront Lindsay about being late on set, telling him:
“She was only late a couple of times while working with me. When I was upset with her, I went into the make-up trailer and yelled, ‘Get on to the set, c’mon, we’re waiting for you.’ ‘Barbarella just yelled at me,’ she reportedly muttered to her make-up artist.”
The Story As Told By Lindsay
Following the statements of Jane Fonda and James G. Robinson, online users and media outlets rapidly jumped on the bandwagon to label Lindsay a party girl who couldn’t keep her appointments. Lindsay put the record right in 2022 while deconstructing 18 of her most memorable outfits for Vogue.
On the set of Georgia Rule, the Parent Trap actress confesses to being late. However, she clarified that she was not hours late, as the press had suggested.
Lindsay exclaimed, “I liked working with Jane, but I was frightened to work with her because she’s Jane Fonda.” “I was also terrified to work with Felicity because they’re such a force of nature, and I remember being three minutes late to set, and it turned out that I was three hours late.”
Lindsay then verified Jane’s recollection of her being pushed along when she was late, adding that she made it a point to never keep her co-stars waiting after that.
“I was mortified,” she admitted. “It didn’t happen again.”
Despite the fact that Jane hustled Lindsay along at one point, there seemed to be no animosity between the two ladies. Lindsay expressed her gratitude in her Vogue feature, noting that she has worked with “the greatest of the greatest.”
Lindsay continued, “I just really admired her and I learnt a lot from her filming this and just being a girl on set and how she takes command.”
Working With Lindsay Lohan: What Other Producers Have to Say
Despite allegations that Lindsay Lohan is tough to deal with, producers and those who have worked with her behind the scenes have revealed that she is actually a pleasure to work with.
In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, MTV executive Nina Diaz, who worked with Lindsay on the reality show Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club, said that Lindsay is a diligent worker.
“She was a go-getter.” Nina added, “She was really invested in who was going to be on the show, what we were going to cover in the show, and what was going on back at the house with the crew.”
“At twenty-seven, she wanted to know what was going on with them — if there was a conflict or concerns — she wanted to be kept informed, and she would come down to the house to discuss something.” “That’s exactly what you’d expect from someone who works on an unscripted show.”
Lindsay was not late on set, according to Nina.
“She had a villa and the workers had a villa, so she had everything we needed.” Bunim/Murray, the production team, was based there. It was like a community and neighbors next door, so a lot of people passed each other on the road, and Lindsay was constantly available.”
Nina responded yes when asked if she would urge individuals in Hollywood who were previously unimpressed with Lindsay’s behavior to give her another chance.
“We had a fantastic time. We created a show that we believe is truly wonderful, and we’re quite excited about it. And most reality timelines don’t move that fast, so that speaks volumes to her as well, since we had to do this in such a short amount of time, which required a significant commitment, and she dove right in.”
Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club was unfortunately canceled after only 12 episodes. However, the actress has continued to make nice public appearances, giving fans hope that she is on the mend.
