Lindsay Lohan

[nita-karoliina]

i would love her to once in her life take a role where she needs to look someone else than herself.

^Yes, and without extensions...

Anyway reviewing a play before the opening night it's actually quite unpolite, she has plenty of time to work on her so called "lines problems".

what happened to her face in those pics?

 

[confessions]

^ Awful. She really needs an entire image overhaul if she is serious about making any sort of comeback. I want to see her do well and overcome the odds but she never looks entirely sober to me. She might well be, but she looks out of sorts in a lot of these late night candids.

If she carries that book everywhere during the play I am not surprised people criticized her preformance.

Actually, I've red somewhere that her character holding that particular book is part of the story and, therefore, fundamental for the plot.

Really? I was sure it was just a convenient character gimmic.

Does the book symbolise something?

In sporting terms, the performer is allowed a few touches of the ball to settle the nerves before becoming involved in set pieces. And, while the 13-page second act gives the character several long speeches, Karen is specified as reading most of them from a book – the apocalyptic novel. If an inexperienced performer were fretting about remembering the lines, it would be possible to have the script discreetly in hand behind the covers of the fictional book. Though Karen's dialogue gradually builds into typical Mametian repetitions – the word "or" occurs three times in a row in one speech, as does "in" in another – she also has light duties in the third act, when she is required for only five of the 21 pages.

^Thank you! I didn't find that myself.

I haven't seen the play, so I don't know the context, but I don't think it is an unreasonable to assume some people might think what I did; that the book is just a convenient prop...

 

[pixiedust1603]

You're welcome! I think it's a bit of both. It is part of the play and the character but it is also a gimmicky prop in the way that the actress can actually put her lines in there. That's why the likes of Madonna can also play this character.

I have to say that Lindsay has proved me wrong. She's getting acceptable reviews for Speed the Plow.

this actually sounds hard to play not to look like someone that is lost in lines but being in character..
