I chose an article dealing with a at one time very bright and beautiful actress that has not come to be known by her movies but by her drug addictions and alcohism. This article starts from the beginning of Lohan's career where she starred in The Parent Trap at 11 years old but soon there after she took a twirling downfall, which lead to one addiction after the other. Since her last couple years of drug addictions she's done a few shocking interviews like the ones by Access Hollywood, Celebritytv.com, and Extra Exclusive.
After two jail sentences and hours of rehab she is still not recovered, her latest court appearence was for a former sentence she failed to fulfill and did not finish her community service at the Downtown's Women Center and in her words was because of her 'busy work schedule' took it upon herself to instead do community service at the Red Cross Center. But Judge Stephanie Saunter would hear none of that saying "No one could change her sentence" and revoked her probation with a $100,000.00 bail. Which is very different from her previous sentences where she only completed 14 out of a 90 day stay where authorities said she did not need to stay the whole time, apparently she used her acting skills on them, since two jail terms later she is still in the same boat.
So once again we see another child movie star take a horrible turn and instead of having a great career ahead for their adult life they get caught up on addictions such as cocaine, pills(prescribed and non-prescribed), alcohol and abusing substances at a very early age. The sad thing about this is that so many other children are facing these exact same problems but most go un-noticed and with out any help and miss out on their entire childhoods. Lindsay Lohan is getting, well has gotten three more chances than any other child or adult for that matter has gotten and has not took advantage of one but instead is still denying all addictions and need for help. So the really important question to answer here is, How exactly does one individual help another individual with problems they do not notice themselves?
