i actually thought the interview really painted her in a positive light. she came across as very sincere and vulnerable and not at all standoffish or full of pride. dare i say, she almost seemed humbled. it will endear her to the people who watch it, i think, and generate some much-needed goodwill in her direction. i really hope for the best for her. i hope that while she's going through the rehab and the counseling, the therapist really tries to get through to her regarding her need to alter her appearance. it was difficult to watch the Letterman interview for the same reason it was so impossible to watch Nicole Kidman in that film Australia, the fillers and botox and lip injections are just so painfully obvious that they act as a mask, providing a separation between the person and the audience. Lindsay has always had an emotional availability which has translated to her being a relatable and empathetic actress; it would be wonderful for her to let her face get back to it's natural state (much like Nicole has) and let us see her deliver some really great acting work in the future.
but all of this is dependent on how seriously she takes this trip to rehab. how seriously she wants to change her life. how much she's willing to sacrifice. there are many people in her life that she'd have to cut out entirely and it could be quite a lonely road for a while, but if she stays strong and determined the potential for her to find true value and achievement and happiness is there.
i'm hopeful!
